SAP delivers
Support Packages to correct errors. As of SAP NetWeaver 7.0, SAP also deliver
Enhancement Packages (EHP), which contain new functionalities. SAP Add-ons
also extend functionality.
Support Packages, EHPs, and Add-ons may contain language-dependent data, such
as message texts, ABAP texts, or screen texts. Once you have imported a
package of this type, the translated texts for these objects are up-to-date
for all languages in the system and package.
Problems can occur if you want to import another language from the language CD
into a system into which Support Packages, EHPs, or Add-ons have already been
imported. The language CD is created before the first Support Packages, and
objects are only translated into the languages already imported into the
system during an import. This means that when you then import another
language, you affect the translations of the objects in the Support Packages,
EHPs, or Add-on. Texts may be outdated or missing altogether.
For detailed information and an overview of solution strategies in various
releases, see SAP Notes 195442 and 352941.
As of SAP Web AS 6.20 you can import language data from Support Packages,
EHPs, and Add-ons to make your languages consistent.
To do so, proceed as follows:
...
1. Call transaction SMLT.
2. Choose Language → Special Actions → Import Support Packages.
