Scope

SAP Companion parameter, specified either in the URL or in the SAP Companion parameters in the linked application.

Release

This feature was introduced in SAP Companion 4.0.2.

Purpose

SAP Companion in mixed language mode

If specified, this parameter indicates that standard SAP-provided help content should be displayed in the users UI language, and custom content should be displayed in the language specified in the globalLanguageFallback parameter. Custom help content can be dynamically translated into the UI language as usual, if necessary.

This is helpful as it allows you to maintain custom help content in (for example) English only, but still have it displayed even if the user changes their UI language. Without this parameter, if the user changes their UI language, SAP Companion will look only for a help project in that language, meaning that the custom help ("Extended") project will not be used at all.

It is recommended that this parameter is only used in conjunction with the 'floating panel' SAP Companion introduced in release 4.0.1 (so that dynamic translation is available).

Obviously, this parameter is only applicable if serviceLayerVersion is set to EXT.

Usage

Specified as:

languageFallbackMode=mix
