Creating Language Resources With the Resource Wizard

Use

You use this procedure to create language resources with the resource wizard.

Note

If you are developing screen-dependent applications based on Web Transactions, it is best to create language resources with the resource wizard, but you can also create language resources manually.

If you are developing screen-independent applications based on ITS Flow Logic, you must create language resources manually.

Prerequisites

There must be a user in the R/3 System which your service is using.

You must first create a service file and at least one HTML template.

Procedure

To create a language resource file using the resource wizard:

Choose File ® New and select the File Wizards tab.

Note

If you define service-specific logon information, remember that the language key must be:

One character for R/3 releases prior to 4.0 (for example, e for English)

Two characters for R/3 releases from 4.0 (for example, en for English)

You get a dialog window that lists all the language resource files that exist for this service.

If language resource files exist for the service and you want to import the language resource keys from these, check the relevant boxes.
Choose Next.
Choose Finish.

Result

The SAP@Web Studio creates an empty language resource file called <service>_<language>.htrc and displays it in the Workspace – Project View under the current service and theme (if applicable).
