Setting Up the Translation Environment

Before translation can start in an SAP system, you need to define the translation environment in accordance with your translation requirements.

You need to perform the activities listed below in the following sequence:

Activity	For more information, see:
Define each language into which you want to translate	Defining Target Languages
Create translation graphs to define the source language for each target language and group together collections according to translation relevance.	Defining Translation Graphs
Define the client(s) in which you want to translate	Defining Translation Clients
Define the object types that each target language is to translate	Defining Object Types for Translation
Assign collections to translation graphs. Only objects belonging to collections that are assigned to a graph that is active for the target language in question will arrive in the worklists and statistics for that target language.	Assigning Collections to a Translation Graph
Create or activate translator profiles, which control the activities that each translator/coordinator can perform for one or more or all target languages in the translation environment	Working with Translator Profiles
Create translators so that you can assign collections to each of them once worklists and statistics are available	Maintaining Translators

After you have set up the translation environment, you can run an evaluation to create worklists and statistics in the system.
