Specifying a Default Language (SAP Library

Specifying a Default Language

In the SAP@Web Studio, you can specify a default language to be used for displaying all your files. This determines the character set used to display your code.

Prerequisites

You must install the National Language Pack for Windows NT.

Procedure

To specify the default language centrally:

Choose Options ® Studio Properties.

Select the Fonts tab page.

Select the language you want to use as the default language.

Result

The SAP@Web Studio uses the selected language for displaying all files.

The character set used is important only for language-specific texts that you code explicitly in your HTML^Business templates. If the templates contain language resource keys, you always see these in the HTML ^Business editor. Text substitution does not occur until the Internet Transaction Server (ITS) interprets the keys at runtime.

Remember also that the length of the language key depends on the release of your R/3 System:

One character for R/3 releases prior to 4.0 (for example, e for English)

Two characters for R/3 releases from 4.0 (for example, en for English)
