Summary :
This SAP Note addresses the configuration of languages in Unicode SAP systems that were previously unsupported in non-Unicode systems, such as Hindi, Tamil, and Vietnamese. To add these languages, users should navigate to transaction I18N for system configuration and extend the language list via the "Extend Language List" button. Post-configuration, the DEFAULT profile parameter zcsa/installed_languages must be updated to reflect new languages, requiring a system restart. It is crucial when configuring languages to ensure the ISO 639-2 language keys match their SAP internal representations, typically mapped in table T002. This setup is essential for enabling languages that rely on Microsoft APIs for correct display and input within SAP environments. Limitations in display, input, and print remain for certain languages and are detailed in sections like Smartforms and SAPscript.
