Maintaining Translators (SAP Library - Setting Up and Coordinating Translation (BC-DOC-TTL))

Maintaining Translators

Use

You maintain translators in the system to control what activities each user can perform in the translation system. It also enables you to assign packages to translators, and thus distribute the translation workload.

Prerequisites

Before you can create translators, translator profiles must be available in the translation system. For more information, see Creating Translator Profiles. Each translator can have only one profile per target language. If a user translates/coordinates translation for several languages, you need to create this user as a translator for each individual target language.

Each translator that you wish to create in the translation environment must already have a user in this system. Otherwise, the error message User name not known will appear when you try to create the translator.

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 A4 (Translator maintenance administration) with value 1.

Activities

Creating Translators

Call up transaction SLWA.

Select your target language in the tab title Target Language.

Choose Translators.

Choose Create/Change.

The Translators screen appears.

In the Translator field, enter the user name of the translator you want to create.

In the Profile field, enter the translator profile that you want to assign to this user. You can use F4 on this field, and select a translator profile from the dialog box that appears.

Choose Save.

The system creates the translator, and displays the translator's user name, along with the translator's profile under No. of translators entered in the tab title Translators. You can now assign packages to this translator.

Repeat this procedure until you have created all the translators you require for this target language.

Deleting Translators

Before you delete a translator, we recommend that you first delete the translator's package assignment. For more information, see Deleting a Translator's Package Assignment.

Call up transaction SLWA.

Select your target language in the tab title Target Language.

Choose Translators.

Select the user name of the translator you want to delete under No. of translators entered.

Choose Delete.
