ABENLANGUAGE_SETTINGS - LANGUAGE SETTINGS

Language Settings

The language setting includes the following settings:

• Logon language

The logon language is the language of the current user session. It affects the selection of various texts.

• Text environment language

The text environment language is the language of the text environment of the current internal session. By default, this is the logon language, but can be set to a different value in an internal session with the statement SET LOCALE LANGUAGE. It affects the general language-dependent behavior of an ABAP program.

Notes

• The system field sy-langu contains the text environment language. It only represents the logon language if the text environment language was not set to a different value.

• In an internal session, the text environment language should only be set temporarily to a language other than the logon language.
