Features
Transaction SE63 enables you to access the translation tools. You can also access individual objects for translation in the initial screen of SE63.
The statistics function enables you to monitor the translation workload and translation progress. You can view the statistics in a number of ways, such as according to one translator or for all packages in the system.
We recommend that you translate objects via a worklist. Worklists enable you to find and translate objects requiring translation quickly and efficiently.
The proposal pool is a database that stores translations for short texts. It enables you to translate short texts with a greater level of efficiency and consistency.
The short text editor provides a number of functions for translating short text objects.
The long text editor provides a number of functions for translating long text objects.
