Personal Secondary Language 

Use

The documentation for the objects has a specific technical character. It is usually available in German and English. The documentation for country-specific objects can also exist in the respective language.

The documentation for the Argentinean personnel calculation schema (ARPR) is stored in Spanish.

In the documentation maintenance (PDSY, views, maintenance transactions) you can display the documentation for an object by storing a personal secondary language for the display.

Scope of Functions

The SAP System displays the documentation for specific languages:

If the documentation on the object does not exist in the log-on language, the documentation on the object will usually be displayed in English.

If the documentation does not exist in English, the documentation will be displayed in the object source language.

You can enter a personal secondary language for displaying the documentation in the SAP System. If the documentation is not available in the log-on language, and you have set up a personal secondary language, the documentation is displayed in the personal secondary language.

This personal secondary language has a higher priority than the English and the object source language when displaying the documentation.

The documentation on objects can only be maintained in the log-on language.
