Change SAP NetWeaver logon language in 2 easy steps

Changing the SAP NetWeaver logon language

Changing the SAP Netweaver logon language can be done directly in the SAP logon window, regardless of the version you are using. See below a full example to change SAP language of the SAP logon 750, which can be done directly after having finished the SAP 750 installation.

It works exactly the same way with the SAP logon 740 after the SAP 740 installation!

Changing the SAP Netweaver logon language will only change the language of the interface that is opened when you start the SAP logon program. It does not mean that you will connect to any SAP system in the chosen language

To be able to select the language of the SAP system you will be using, and to change SAP language in the system you will be using, these languages must have been installed and set by the system administrator, contrary to the SAP NetWeaver logon languages which are installed locally on your computer during the SAP 750 installation or other version, and are only available for the logon screen, the interface in which you select the SAP system to open.
