Hi,
I have a SAP WAS 6.20 Unicode System and I have installed the Chinese language by running the report RSCPINST following OSS note 42305. The installation was successful and no error messages. However, when I tried to logon the system with Chinese language option "ZH", the system did not display Chinese but English or German. Are there any clear steps/procedures to describe how to activate/turn on a language in a unicode system? Anyone did this before can share your experience and knowledge?
Thanks and Regards,
Yujun Ran
Request clarification before answering.
Hi,
I did the same installation in a R/3 Enterprise 4.7 (which is also based on 6.20) and had no problems.
The procedure was:
- reading note 482462
- copying the language files from CD to disk
- specifiying and importing language with SMLT
- zsca/second_language=E; zcsa/installed_languages=DE1
- supplement of language ZH with EN
No problem to logon (and I also see chinese characters) with language ZH. I also w'd explicitly recommend to use a SAPGUI 6.40 with a high patch level.
Regards
Jürgen

Hi Jürgen,
Thanks very much for your responding. I have read note 482462 but one thing I am still not that clear. Since my system WAS 6.20 Unicode system, do I still need import Chinese Language 'ZH' by SMLT? Should 'ZH' or any other languages have been already in the system? And we just need activate it?
Thanks again.

Hi Yujun,
nearly correct.
Unicode just means that it is possible to display every character/symbol used in the world (resp. just on earth). It doesn't say's anything about languages installed in a SAP system.
In every SAP standard system just the languages 'English' and 'German' are installed. If you want to use other languages you have to install them:
1. You need a language package which is usually contained on the language CD
2. You need to install this language with transaction SMLT
Try to use the Info-Button in SMLT for detailed information.
Hope this helps.
Best regards.
Jürgen

Hi Jürgen Mayer,
Thanks for the information and clearing my doubts.
I have one more query.
Why SAP is concentrating or only using Page IN in Windows and Paged out in UNIX.

Hi
I have a doubt.
If Unicode contains all the characters in one page.
Then why do we require to convert the language or install that particular language using SMLT when Unicode can convert it.

Hi,
you have the wrong sight on the things:
To have systems installed as unicode means that you are able to display every character and yes the CODEPAGE contains any character, but not any table of the SAP system may be filled with these characters.
Installation of a language means to fill different tables (customizing, text elements, menue texts, etc.) with these characters.
regards
jürgen
