If you want to use customer-specific, language-dependent objects in another language, those objects must first be translated into the target language. The objects can be translated using the translation tool described below.

Standard settings

All objects in the standard system are translated by SAP and cannot be translated with this tool should you require a change of language.

Activities

Enter the following information on the initial screen:

  • Source language
  • Target language
  • Translation object
  • Search selection

You trigger a search for all translation-relevant texts by selecting Execute. Depending on your search selections, the system only searches for the texts for the selected object, or for the sub-objects assigned to that object. For example, in the case of an aspect, the system either runs a search only for the aspect texts, or for the key figure, characteristic, and characteristic value texts as well.

The search transaction may take some time because the system may have to check every object for text.

The following screen displays a list of object classes found. The object classes are identified as follows:

  1. Not translated - none of the objects in this class are translated
  2. Partially translated - some objects in this class are translated
  3. Translated - all objects in this class are translated

In addition, the translated object classes are highlighted.

On this screen, you select the object classes with which you wish to continue working. You can select object list to branch into the individual object display.

The object list displays all the objects in the previously selected object classes. The objects are displayed in three columns, which are used as follows:

  • Object class of object
  • Name of object
  • Object text in source language (20 characters)
  • Object text in target language (20 characters)

The target text is blank if the object has not been translated. Translated objects are highlighted.

Now select the objects you wish to process. If you select objects for processing that have already been translated, you have the option of changing the target text.

Choose the process type. There are two options for translation:

  • Translation
    You can translate all objects for translation in the short-text editor.
  • Fast translation
    The system runs a search for the text to be translated in the SAP proposal database. If the system does not find a translation, the source language text is copied into the target language. Fast translation only works for objects that have not yet been translated.

Further notes

Only customer-specific, EIS-specific objects are available for translation.

If texts are missing in the target language which are usually translated by SAP, you can translate them either by importing the relevant language into the system, or by using the SAP translation tool under Tools -> ABAP Workbench -> Utilities -> Translation -> Short/long texts.
