Language Code Selection

Language Code Selection

SAP supports many languages, but the system may be configured to support only a subset of the languages. When you configure the application connection to connect to the mySAP or SAP BW system, you may have to specify the language code of the system.
The following table shows which application connections require a language code:
Application Connection
Language Code Required
SAP_ALE_IDoc_Reader
No
SAP_ALE_IDoc_Writer
Yes
SAP BAPI/RFC Interface
Yes
SAP BW
Yes
SAP BW OHS
Yes
SAP R/3
Yes
FTP, SFTP
No
The language code you select affects the following PowerExchange for SAP NetWeaver tasks:
  • Importing SAP metadata in the Designer.
     The Designer imports metadata in the language you specify. The mySAP system returns messages to the Designer in the language you specify.
  • Installing ABAP programs.
    The mySAP system returns messages to the Designer in the language you specify.
  • Running sessions.
     The ABAP program extracts data in the language you specify in the application connection. The mySAP system also returns session log and server messages in the language you specify. When you configure an application connection, you also select a code page.
The language code you select affects the following PowerExchange for SAP BW tasks:
  • Importing InfoSource definitions.
     The SAP BW system returns messages to the Designer in the language you specify.
  • Running sessions.
     The SAP BW system returns session log and server messages in the language you specify. When you configure a database connection, you also select a code page.
SAP substitutes the default language of the mySAP or SAP BW system under the following conditions:
  • You leave the language code blank.
  • You specify a valid language code, but the system does not support that language.
When you run a session with an SAP R/3 application connection and you specify a code page other than UTF-8, SAP substitutes the default language of that particular system under these conditions.
