Use

You can use transaction SLPP to create abbreviations in the source or target language, and then assign them to a full text. The system saves the abbreviation together with the full text in a monolingual table. For more information, see Abbreviation .

Procedure

  1. On the initial screen of transaction SLPP, check that the default languages are correct for the abbreviations you want to create or edit.

  2. Abbreviations are monolingual, which means you can work in the Source or Target group box. Enter the full text for which you want to create an abbreviation in the Text field.

  3. Choose Edit Abbreviation .

    The Abbreviations dialog box appears. The full text is displayed in the Full Text field. If the proposal pool already contains abbreviations for the full text, the system displays them under Available Abbreviations .

  4. If you want to create an abbreviation and assign it to the full text, enter the abbreviation in the Abbreviation field and choose Create Abbreviation . The Select Status dialog box appears, in which you can double-click the quality status you want to assign to the abbreviation.

    If you want to create a domain-specific abbreviation, enter the abbreviation in the Abbreviation field and choose Application . A dialog box appears for you to double-click the domain. Then choose Create Abbreviation .
