Translating Texts for BW Objects

You can translate short and long texts of BW metadata objects contained in your system. To do this, you use special functions of the Data Warehousing Workbench in your BW system and the translation environment provided by the SAP Web Application Server (ABAP).

The procedure is as follows:

Step	Description
1	Collect the BW metadata objects to be translated along with all the dependent objects in the functional area Translation of the Data Warehousing Workbench.
2	Create a piece list with the objects to be translated in the functional area Translation of the Data Warehousing Workbench. Note The standard case is that a piece list is created. Since a piece list cannot be created in a system that has the global setting "cannot be changed" however, you use a workbench request in this case. For more information, see SAP Note 885571 .
3	Generate an object list in the translation administration transaction
4	Edit the worklist in transaction SE63
5	Generate the M version of the BW objects using program RSO_AFTER_TRANSLATION in the ABAP Editor
6	You can then transport the translated objects to other systems.
