Documentation

Definition

You use the form language to specify the language in which you want to display the form or object texts (for example, product description).

Use

You can choose from the following three specifications:

  • The language of the vendor
  • Language of the administrative unit
  • The language in which the user is currently logged on

If the form or text does not exist in the language you specify, the system automatically tries to find the form or text in the next language. When doing so, the system uses the sequence described above.

Dependencies

Example

If the form does not exist in the vendor's language, the system tries to find the form in the language of the model grouping. If this cannot be found, it gets the form in the logon language.
