Procedure

  1. To access the application, enter a user name, password and provide the Data Source (Database) name in the Logon Window.

  2. Choose one of the following options:

    • Export option — The export option allows you to export all the text available for translation to a designated file (*.txt). Choose the language of the export files and the directory to which they will be added. In the drop-down list, choose a layout for the export file. The options are:

      • Export all Translatable Objects In a Single file — Exports the translatable text into one file.

      • Separate Export Files for Each Translation Category — Divides the translatable text into different object categories. For example, DW.txt contains all the datawindow translatable text. The name of the file will contain a reference to the type of object it contains.

      • Separate Export Files For Each Translatable Object — This option creates a separate file for each object that contains translatable text.

    • Import option — The import option takes the translated files and imports them back into the database.

      To successfully import the translated file, you will need to add the language to the ‘Translation File Identifier’ section of the txtxlt.ini file as follows. This file is located in the \Program Files\Common Files\SAP Shared\Retail Systems folder.

      [Translator File Identifier]

      ENGLISH=EN

      FRENCH=FR

      SPANISH=ES

      GERMAN=DE

      There are two options for importing translated data.

      • Import Translatable Objects From File Contents — The application creates the name of the file based on the name of the parent object. This option is used to import when the files are either a single file, or the translation is broken down by category. Using this option on files that have been broken down by object will cause an error as the object name is discerned from the file name in this case.

      • Generate Translatable Object Key From File Name — Use this option when the files have been broken down by object. The file name will contain the name of the object to be imported.

      The import can be performed one file at a time, or on all files with the .TXT extension. The translations are loaded into the Translate_Translated table in the database specified at logon.
