Procedure documentationTranslating Definitions Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

You must translate SAPterm terminology entries in SAPterm itself. However, when you translate glossary entries, you have two options:

  • You can translate the definition text as part of the translation workflow in transaction SE63.

  • You can translate the text manually.

Prerequisites

In order for the definition text to appear for translation in SE63, you must first translate the term's designation in SAPterm. The definition will not appear in your worklist for translation if the designation is not available for the header information.

Note Note

Translate the term's designation as early as possible. If you translate it too late in the release cycle, the definition may not be included in the final worklist run.

End of the note.

Procedure

  1. On the initial SAPterm screen, check the source and target language settings.

  2. Enter the source language term and choose Edit Entry.

  3. On the Edit Entry screen, choose Translation (Translation) and enter the translation of the term and all required information.

  4. ChooseSave (Save) to save your entry and exit the translation and maintenance screens.

Result

The definition text will appear in your worklist after the next worklist run. You can use the split screen editor to translate the definition more easily, without running the risk of changing or deleting the source text. For more information, see Functions in the Split Screen Editor.
