Introduction When you double click on the respective system in the SAP login pad, you will get the SAP login scre e n, where you need to enter your user ID and the password. In the same screen you might have seen a space to specify the language. If you’re working on a SAP system where you have multiple languages installed, the default language that was setup by the Basis team will appear here.
