Configuration Multilanguage Fields Support (OP)

To enable support for Multilanguage fields:

1. Start the Parameters Multi Language Support (ttadv4106m000) session.
2. Configure Multibyte and Unicode, and perform the required steps for this configuration. See the instructions displayed in the session's window.
3. Select the 多语言字段支持 check box.
4. Save the changes and close the session.

To define data languages:

1. Start the 数据语言 (ttaad1111m000) session.
2. Define the desired data languages. A data language consists of an ISO 639-1 language code and, optionally, an ISO 3166-1 country code. You can zoom to the ISO 639 语言 (ttaad1512m000) session and the ISO 3166-1 国别 (ttaad1513m000) session.
3. Define the base language: Select a data language and, on the 相应 menu, click 设置基本语言.

   Note: The base language is used as a fall back language. Application data is displayed in the base language if both of the following scenarios occur:

   • No data language is defined in the user data of an LN user.
   • No data language is linked to the user's software language.
4. Convert the data languages to the runtime data dictionary. On the 相应 menu, click 将数据语言转换为运行时. The conversion process generates the $BSE/lib/data_langs file.

   Important:

   • Only perform this step if you are sure you no longer want to change the base language. See the restrictions listed in the online help of the 数据语言 (ttaad1111m000) session.
   • During the conversion to runtime, all users must be logged off.
   • When the conversion to runtime has finished, you must restart the LN environment.
5. Close the session.

To link a data language to a software language:

1. Start the 软件语言 (ttaad1510m000) session.
2. To start the 软件语言 (ttaad1110s000) session, double-click a software language. In the 数据语言 field, enter the desired data language.

   Note:

   • You can zoom to the 数据语言 (ttaad1111m000) session.
   • You can only select data languages with status "Base Language" and "Available".
   • If you leave the 数据语言 field blank, LN displays the application data in the data language defined in the user data of an LN user, or in the base language.
3. Save the changes and close the sessions.

For all package combinations you want to be multilanguage-enabled:

1. Start the 已登记的含多语言字段的表 (ttadv4137m000) session.
2. Select a package combination.
3. Add the tables you want to be Multilanguage Enabled.
4. Double-click a table. The 登记的多语言字段 (ttadv4138m000) session starts.
5. For each field you want to be multilanguage enabled, select the 已启用 check box.
6. Save the changes and close the sessions.

To convert the multilanguage settings to the runtime data dictionary:

1. Start the Convert to Runtime Data Dictionary (ttadv5215m000) session.
2. Select the 表 check box and the Reconfigure Tables check box.
3. For package combinations, packages, and tables, specify the appropriate selection ranges.

4. Click 转换为运行时

5. Optionally, start the 用户数据 (ttaad2500m000) session, and define a data language per user. The data language specified in the user data takes precedence over the data language linked to a software language. For more information, see "Language types" in Multilanguage application data (OP).
