Use
In this IMG activity, you can define the default language in which the system is to display the standard XSteps if the latter have not yet been translated into the desired target language.
Short and long texts of all XStep objects are generally translatable in the XStep editor. A prerequisite for this is that the object to be translated is based on a characteristic that you have previously entered in the IMG activity Define Translatable Process Instruction Characteristics (transaction CMX23).
You can also invoke this IMG activity directly via transaction CMX24.
If you do not specify a preferred default language, as a basic rule the system displays the source language until such time as translation into the the logon language has been carried out.
To translate XStep texts, proceed as follows:
- You must log on in the desired target language.
- Invoke the XStep in change mode and overwrite the texts in the logon language.
- Save your changes.
The system saves your input as a translation. The texts of the XSteps are now available in the original language and in the language into which translation has taken place.

Activities
Example
You have defined English as the preferred default language. You have logged on in German and have created a new XStep. You have then translated the text into English. The XStep is also to be translated into French. A user logs on in French. Because there is as yet no translation into French, the system displays the new XStep in the preferred default language English. As soon as the French translation becomes available, it is displayed to the user when the latter logs on in French.
