Please note that this topic is also covered by the available KBA 1996605 (then application level issues) (SAP Service Marketplace access required)

Prerequisite:

SAP Sourcing login URLs can be constructed as follows:

[protocol]://[hostname]:[port]/[context]/[login type]/[login path]

Process flow for buyside and sellside logins:

1. Install the Language Pack in question following the official SAP Sourcing documentation

2. Open the SAP Sourcing Login page in question (buyside, sellside)

3. Change the language in the dropdown ("Logon Screen Language") to the language in question and note the changing URL in the browser

4. Copy this URL and find the language pack ID for the selected langage pack at the end of said URL

5. Use this URL as a favorite or in any other manner to pre-default the SAP Sourcing Login Page language for the buyside and sellside logins

As such a buyside URL with a pre-defaulted language pack preference would look like:
[protocol]://[hostname]:[port]/[context]/fsbuyer/portal/login?languagepack=-2147481840:50


A sellside URL with a pre-defaulted language pack would look ike:
[protocol]://[hostname]:[port]/[context]/fsvendor/vendordesktop/login?languagepack=-2147481840:50

NOTE: This might not work in SSO scenarios as the login page might not stem from the actual SAP Sourcing application.

Process flow for the Supplier self-registration page:

1. Install the Language Pack in question following the official SAP Sourcing documentation


2. Note the "ISO Language" value of the language pack in question from the SAP Sourcing buyside (or enterprise user) login via Setup - System Setup - User Interface - Language Packs


3. Open the SAP Sourcing Supplier self-registration page in question (if using multiple UI`s see also KBA 1995822 if in doubt how to call it)

4. Use the given URL and append the following: ?language=da&country=da whereas "da" is the ISO Language value of the language pack in question.

5. Use this URL as a favorite or in any other manner to pre-default the SAP Sourcing Supplier self-registration language

A Supplier self-registration page with a pre-defaulted language pack would look like:
[protocol]://[hostname]:[port]/[context]/fsguestvendor/vendordesktop/register?language=da&country=da

If using an alternate Supplier UI with a pre-defaulted language pack this would then look like:
[protocol]://[hostname]:[port]/[context]/fsguestvendor/vendordesktop/register?language=da&country=da&ui=ui2
