Finding Abbreviations for a Full Text in SLPPLocate this document in the navigation structure

Use

The Find Abbreviations tab in transaction SLPP enables you to display abbreviations for a full text in the proposal pool. Abbreviations are monolingual, which means they are always created for a full text in the same language, not for a combination of source and target languages. For example, a translator could create Bus. Trans. as an English abbreviation of the English system standard Business Transaction. You therefore specify just one language, not a combination of source and target languages, on the Find Abbreviations tab.

Prerequisites

Abbreviated translations in the short text editor have been defined as abbreviations in the proposal pool.

Procedure
