R/3 Languages in Locale Attribute

Hi All,

We created a R/3 Data Store, after creating the data store we saw only below languages under Locale Attribute R/3 Language drop down box.
E- English,
D-German,
F-France,
J-Japanese,

But my requirement need more languages like Chinese, Hebrew, Korean, Portugese, Arabic,.… etc other than listed above.

Are there any settings in BO Data Services? to acheive this… If so please let us know.

Please help us ASAP.

Thanks,
Ashok

Just type the single char code there, it is not limited to those in the drop down list.

Also be aware that this is the connection language setting only. You can connect to the SAP system in english, import the table metadata and hence will see the english table/column descriptions. And when reading you can read the text for all languages, e.g. reading the MAKT table with all the material names in all the different languages.

Hi Werner,

Thanks for your reply.

Most of the languages are working fine with the codepages available. But, I have an issue with Thai Language. SAP R/3 4.6c MDMP system as a source uses TIS-620 codepage. What is an equivalent codepage in BO-DataServices for R/3 Datastore. After some research, I figured that ISO-8859-11 codepage is an equivalent to TIS-620. But, that is not available in R/3 Datastore codepage dropdown. So, how can I extract the Thai Language in this scenario.

Please, advice.

Ashok

Codepage 874 is supposingly very close to that, in the datastore use the codepage called ibm-874_P100-1995.
