3. Import language part of Support Packages

Problems can occur if you want to import another language from the language CD into a

system into which Support Packages have already been imported. The language CD is

created before the first Support Packages, and the objects in the Support Packages are only

translated into the languages already imported into the system.

The language parts from the Support Packages are imported.

Proceed as follows:

...

1. Call transaction SMLT.

2. Choose Language → Special Actions → Import Support Packages.

System will list the SAP Support packs that are to needed to be made available in RED.

Upload the Support packs package on the server in  /usr/sap/trans and click search Path

The new added support packs will be identified and turn Green

Select the Support packs you want to install for their language part.

This can be done for all support pack at once or can also be done in parts.

To check  the support pack import

Call transaction SMLT>> Choose Language → Special Actions → Import Support Packages.

After successful import of all support packs for their language part all the SP will become green which were seen RED before

Important Points to Consider

• You must perform a language supplementation after each import of a Support Package or Upgrade
• You must supplement all languages that exist in the system, except English and German.
• The supplementation should be carried out in client 000

There are 3 Ways to carry out Language supplementation

1. Use Report RSREFILL - for updating a translation language for the Customizing settings of an existing customer client (Note 48047)

2. Client maintenance  - Transaction SMLT - Language → Special Actions → Client Maintenance

3. Manual Translation - Translate the remaining Customizing texts in transaction SE63
