SAP notifications in different languages

Fri Mar 28 06:22:22 EDT 2008

Dear all,
It is from my SAP experience that the mail Step really sends a email, and after a email is created its contents are static, while workitems are dynamic the system checks for each user that is looking at a workitem the logon language and shows the workitem text and description in the logon language if available.

I agree with Akshay Bhagwat assumption.

Best Regards.

Hi Sherie,

Thanks for Inputs. I have not done any binding as you have mentioned.
Wanted to know how it will help? because actually what is happening is , If I execute the user decision step - which is prior to send mail step-  in English environment, Notification text in SAP Inbox is in English. However if I refer the same text by logging in in German, I am still able to see the Text in English in my Inbox. 

Here my doubt was , why it is not picking up the German text which I had maintained ? Surprisingly, if I refer workflow log and thru' it, if I check the work item display and description fro send mail step, it can be seen in German !

So I was about to assume that Notification Texts will be available in the Language in which the Step is executed. i.e. If I login using different language , then this text will not be changed i.e. it will still be in the earlier language! 
(which is not the case with other Work items. I am able to see work item texts in different languages)

Pls suggest me whether my assumption above is correct.

Thanks and Regards, 

Akshay Bhagwat

Akshay,
Do you have the language of the recipient bound in the send mail step?  Generally I believe it will be in your system language unless you bind it otherwise.

Hi Friends,

I had searched on this topic in our forum , and got some information also,  however could not find exact information related to notifications.

To elaborate the scenario, I have maintained the Translation of texts using workflow builder for  my workflow template in English and German languages.
It works fine in case of dialog steps of workflow , i.e if I log in English, I can see English text and vis-a versa.
However the case is not same in case of send mail step.

I have maintained task description in both the languages for mail step. 
However if I execute the workflow by logging  in German language and mail is sent, It shows German text, Fine. But If I try to log in English and check the notification in SAP Inbox, then it still shows text in German and not in English.( Note: But in workflow log - work item display , I can see the English text ! )

Wanted to know that is this some problem that am I missing something, or notifications will shown in the language in which they are executed ?

Appreciate your inputs on this matter.

Thanks and Regards, 

Akshay Bhagwat
