<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Shai,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I can only speak for the R/3 SAP Business
Workplace: Every workflow get's a fixed language set when it is started, which
is the current logon language of the user who's initiating the workflow. Every
subsequent work item titel will be created in that language and stored in the db
table SWWWIHEAD.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If a user logs on with a different language than
the one the workflow was started with, he'll see the work item titels in the
workflow's language (and not his own), //unless// he sets the checkbox
"Show work item texts in logon language" under Personal-Workflow-Settings in the
SAP Business Workplace. The standard settings is: unchecked.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In your situation to avoid this, you'll need either
to get the workflow started in English or you'll need to set a different
language afterwards (which isn't -- as far as I know -- not possible to be done
with standard functions, but a hard db update).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>To transpose the start-language to english I would
suggest to put the user WF-BATCH in between and let this user have the workflow
started. (i.e. re-initiating the start event by the user WF-BATCH who's language
should be English).</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Hi all,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have a workflow which so far worked in English logon (and worked well).
Lately we've started using this WF for users that logs in ES
(Spanish) and ever since we have problems: I haven't
maintained task description in Spanish therefore users receive
workitems without descriptions.</DIV>
<DIV>The issue is that the workitem recipients should still receive the
workitem in English. My current solution is to maintain task
description for Spanish same as English, however this is not such an
elegant solution since I have to maintain texts twice. In addition, we are
expecting soon to have users logging in Polish.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Is there any way to set the system to show workitem text in logon
language and in case there is not such it'll show workitem text in English ?
Any other ideas ?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks in advance,<BR> </DIV>
