Maintaining the Secondary Language Status (SAP Library - Setting Up and Coordinating Translation (BC-DOC-TTL))

Maintaining the Secondary Language Status

Prerequisites

The target language into which you will translate has been set up in the translation system. For more information, see Setting Up the Target Language.

Your user profile must contain authorization object S_ADMI_FCD with value TRNL in the field System Administration Function.

Your translator profile must contain authorization A1 (Language attributes administration) with value 1.

Procedure

Call up transaction SLWA.

Select your target language under the tab title Target language.

Choose the tab title Attributes.

This screen contains a table containing the secondary language statuses.

Select the statuses that you want to translate.

We recommend that you select all four statuses. If, however, your target language will be translating from a source language that is itself a translation, you can keep status 3 hidden until a few weeks before the translation deadline. This ensures that languages that use a translation as a source language, do not translate the same object multiple times (every time the source text (translation) changes), but instead wait until such objects are completely available in the source language.

Choose Translate in the menu bar.

If you want to hide a status, in other words, not translate objects with this status, select the status and choose Hide in the menu bar.

Result

The system changes the text under Status accordingly.
