Setting Up the Target Language (SAP Library - Setting Up and Coordinating Translation (BC-DOC-TTL))

Setting Up the Target Language

Use

Before the start of productive translation, you need to set up the target language (the language into which you will translate). It is not possible to perform any of the subsequent activities in the translation environment (defining the secondary language status, translation client, translation graphs, translators, and package assignment) until you have created the target language.

Prerequisites

The target language into which you will translate has been defined as a language in the translation system. For more information, see Preparing a System for Translation.

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.

Under the tab title Target language, select the desired target language. You can choose F4 on this field and then select a target language from the dialog box that appears.

Choose Create language.

The system displays a dialog box asking if you want to create this target language.

Choose Yes.

Repeat this procedure for all other languages into which you want to translate.

Result

The system creates your language as a target language. You can now continue to set up the translation environment.
