Chinese names in learning as alternative name

[Janine_Zeh2023]

Dear community,

we use Employee Central and Learning. In EC, we use the alternative Name field to enter the chinese names of our colleagues.

Is there any possibility to send the alternative names also to LMS? but not in a custom field? We want to use the chinese name in the certificate templates. 

I'm happy for any advice how to solve this.

Many thanks,

Janine

Hi Janine,
We had the same question for one of our customers.
Finally we decided to use the LMS user field Middle name (MI)
This was only done after analysing that the Middle Name wasn't filled by anyone.
We renamed the middle name in LMS to Local Name.
There is a token called 'User Middle Name' which you can use in the certification of Completion.
Optionally you could also amend the name format (First Name, Middle Name, Last Name) for The Chinese locale https://userapps.support.sap.com/sap/support/knowledge/en/2670640 
Therefore you need to update the Label ID: format.LastName.FirstName.MI.

Many thanks for your advice! Will double check if we use the middle name field 🙂
