Defining Language-Specific Application Properties

 

In the Web Dynpro application, you can define the properties of the application under Application Properties. These properties include the sequence in which the language is displayed. Web Dynpro provides you with the following predefined application properties for internationalization:

• Authentication

If the user has been authenticated, the application is displayed in the language specified in the user profile.

• DefaultLocale

If a user does not need authentication to use the application, then this setting specifies the language that is displayed for anonymous users.

If, however, a language is specified in the browser settings of the users, then the application is displayed in this language.

In the Internet Explorer browser, you can set the language by choosing Menu ® Internet Options... On the General tab page, choose Languages... You can now add and delete languages.
