In this step, you can translate the forms and reports you have defined in one language into another language.

Activities

Enter the following on the initial screen:

  1. Original language
  2. Target language
  3. Translation object
  4. Search limits.

Choose "Execute" to trigger a search for all the texts which need to be translated. Depending on the search limits you specify, the system searches either for the texts from the selected report only, or for the report texts and those from all the forms assigned to this report.

The search process may take some time, as the system may have to search for texts in all the reports.

On the next screen, the system displays a list of the object types found. They are flagged as follows:

  1. Untranslated - none of the objects in this class is translated
  2. Partly translated - some of the objects in this class are translated
  3. Translated - all objects in this class are translated

The translated object types are also highlighted.

On this screen, you select the object classes you want to process further. Use the Object list to branch to the display showing the individual objects.

The object list shows all the objects from the object class you selected. The display has four columns, showing:

  1. Object class for the object
  2. Object name
  3. Source text (20 characters)
  4. Translation (20 characters)

The "Translation" field for untranslated objects is empty. Translated objects are highlighted.

Now select the objects you want to process. If you select translated objects for processing, you can change the translation.

Choose the type of processing. Two types are available:

  1. Translation: With this, you can translate the relevant texts in a short text editor.
  2. Fast translation: The system tries to find the text requiring translation in the SAP proposal database. If no translation is found there, the source text is copied into the target language. Fast translation only functions for objects which have not yet been translated.

Further notes

Only the reports and forms you defined are offered for translation. If texts normally translated by SAP are missing from the target language, you can only translate these by incorporating the relevant language into the system or by using the SAP translation tool. To do the latter, choose Tools -> ABAP/4 Workbench -> Utilities -> Translation -> Short/long texts.
