How to Support More than One Language

  1. Complete the steps in Setting Month Name Abbreviations to Non-English Text. For example, to set the month names to Spanish, issue the command:

    job 'setup_cal_es.pro'

  2. Copy TBDB.eng to TBDB.<xx> for the language you want to use, where <xx> is the two-letter abbreviation for the language. TBDB.eng is located in the <installation dir>\SAP Strategy Management\ApplicationServer\data directory.

  3. Make a copy of lsserver.ini for the additional language. For example, for the Spanish language copy lsserver.ini to lsserver-es.ini.

  4. In the new .INI file, modify the TBDB= filename reference from TBDB.eng to the new version.

  5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 for each language that you want to support in your environment.

  6. When you have created one TBDB file for each language you wish to support, reset the month names in the English TBDB by issuing the command:

    job 'setup_cal_en.pro'

  7. Create a unique Application Server user for each language that you want to support. For example, to create a user for the clients who need to display month names in Spanish, create the user GUESTES by issuing the command:

    supervisor create user guestes work wkguestes use juice usage read

  8. Start the Administrator and click Start of the navigation pathAdministration Next navigation step Manage ModelsEnd of the navigation path.

  9. Select a model connection and create an Application Server connection for each new language.

    • For the PAS User field, specify the name of the user created in step 7.

    • Change the INI File field for the Application Server connection to refer to the appropriate lsserver-<xx>.ini file created in step 3.

    • In the Groups and users section of the screen, select Users. Add the names of the users who need to connect to the system with that language.

    If you had an original Application Server Connection with a Groups and users setting of Everyone and the INI file setting of lsserver.ini, update this entry to Users and include the names of the users who need to view the dates in English.

  10. Repeat step 9 for all model connections.
