Sequence of Language Display

You can use the search process described below to determine the session locale used by the Web Dynpro runtime environment when starting an application.
IE Browser Settings
In the Internet Explorer browser, you can set the language by choosing Tools à Internet Options... On the General tab page, choose Languages... You can now add and delete languages.
WD Application Requires User Authentication
If the WD application requires user authentication, the language indicator is determined through the data of the user he or she is logged in with.
WD Application Does not Require User Authentication
If a user does not need authentication to use the application, the application configuration setting specifies the language that is displayed for anonymous users if no language preference is defined in the Web browser.
If the language indicator is not set, the language is chosen per default in the sequence as the following settings are listed:
1. Preference sap-locale defined for the application
2. System locale
3. Locale for current Java Virtual Machine (JVM)
When you define the application language, you make configuration settings for the application.
