Prerequisites
-
The
translation environment has been set up completely.
-
At least one
evaluation run has taken place.
-
Your
translator profile has authorization object TRW1 with the value 01.
-
In transaction LXE_MASTER, you have been defined as a
translator for the required target language.
-
Collections from this worklist have been assigned to you for translation.
-
You know the number of the worklist that contains the objects you need to translate. Ask your translation coordinator if you do not know the worklist number.
Before you call up a worklist, you can maintain the
worklist settings to suit the way you work. You can also maintain standard values for the translation area and language direction so that you do not have to maintain them every time you call up a worklist. For more information on how to maintain standard values for the translation area and language direction, see
Transaction SE63 and refer to the section "Defining Your Translator Settings.
Context
You can use transaction SE63 to call up objects to be translated in a
worklist . You can then edit these objects, either individually or sequentially, directly from the worklist. Translators can only call up objects in a worklist if they belong to collections assigned to them for translation, and if no other translator has already reserved them in his or her worklist. You have various options for determining the contents and scope of your worklist. You do not need to know the object types and technical names of the objects to be translated.
Procedure
- In the initial screen of transaction SE63, choose
.
- This takes you to the
My Worklist: Parameters dialog box. Check the source language, target language, and worklist number.
These values are taken from your translation settings.
- If you want to
reset an existing worklist before accessing a new worklist, select the
Reset Worklist / Reservation checkbox.
- Choose
Apply .
The system displays the
Get Worklist screen. A reservation number for accessing a worklist is created for your user. This reservation number prevents you from calling up worklists for several language directions at the same time, which can lead to technical problems.
- On the
Standard Worklist tab page, you can see your user name, the source and target language, the reservation number, and the worklist number. Make the required settings on this tab page:
-
Collections
On the pushbutton next to
Collections , the system displays the number of collections that are assigned to you. If you only want to call up a worklist for some of the collections assigned to you, choose the pushbutton next to
Collections and
select the required collections. Otherwise, leave the default collections as they are.
We recommend that you call up a worklist for one collection at a time. You can use the
statistics to decide which collections to take into account when calling up a worklist.
-
Domains
All domains are selected by default. If you only want to call up a worklist for objects belonging to particular domains, choose the pushbutton next to
domains . This takes you to a dialog box that enables you to double-click domains to select or deselect them. The selected domains are highlighted in yellow. After you have made your selections, choose
Execute to return to the
Get Worklist screen.
-
Object Types
All of the
object types that are defined for translation into your target language are selected by default. If you only want to call up a worklist for particular object types, choose the pushbutton next to
object types . This takes you to a dialog box that enables you to expand the object group nodes and then double-click individual object types to select or deselect them. The selected object types are highlighted in yellow. After you have made your selections, choose
Execute to return to the
Get Worklist screen.
-
Object name
The
Object Name field enables you to enter the name of an object, or the parts of the name separated by
* , so that you can then reserve the object in your worklist.
Caution
This function executes a generic search throughout the entire system, and is very performance-intensive. We recommend that you call up individual objects directly in transaction SE63. For more information, see
Translating Objects Directly .
-
Number per Object Type
The value displayed by the system in this field is taken from the
worklist settings that are maintained in transaction SE63. To change this value on the
Standard Worklist tab page, you need authorization object TRWC with the value 01.
Note
If you call up a worklist with a large number of objects per object type for collections that are assigned to more than one translator for the same target language, this reduces the number of objects that your colleagues can reserve in their worklists. We therefore recommend that you restrict the number of objects per object type to the number that you can translate on one day. Note that if you enter 25 in the Number per Object Type field in a system that contains 150 object types, you could then reserve up to 3750 objects in your worklist.
-
Status of Objects
The
Status of Objects checkboxes enable you to determine whether you want to reserve objects with new, modified, or translated units in your worklist. The
New and
Modified checkboxes are selected by default. We recommend that you only call up 100% translated objects in your worklist if you have a specific reason for doing so, for example, because you want to change particular translations.
-
Related Objects
If you want to call up related objects, select the
Related Objects checkbox. Objects that are related to each other are then reserved in your worklist, such as the interface texts, Screen Painter texts, and text elements for the program SAPLPROG. For more information, see
Calling up Related Objects .
Note
The number of related objects found by the system is influenced directly by the number of objects specified in the Number per Object Type field. If you want to use this function, you are therefore advised to enter a low value such as
1 in the Number per Object Type field.
- Choose
Reserve Objects .
Results
The system takes you to the Worklist:
Object List for
User Name
from
Source Language
to
Target Language screen. The system reserves objects in your worklist in accordance with your settings. If you selected several collections, the system calls up as many objects as possible from the first collection before calling up objects from the next collection.
