Transaction SLPP enables you to display proposals that already exist in the proposal pool for a particular source text, so that you can make sure your translations of field names and menu options (for example) are correct when you are translating long texts. Transaction SLPP enables you to maintain the proposal pool in the same way as when you access it from the short text editor. For example, you can change proposals in order to correct terminology in a translation project.

You can find proposal pool entries in accordance with the following criteria:

  • Source text

  • Target text

  • Source text and target text

Note Note

If you only use the source text to find proposals, the system displays the proposal pool in display mode. If you want to change or create proposals, you must enter the target text in the initial screen of transaction SLPP.

End of the note.

Procedure

Accessing a Proposal Pool Entry Using the Source Text

To access proposals for a specific source text, proceed as follows:

  1. On the initial screen of transaction SLPP, check that the default source and target languages are correct for the proposals you want to display or edit. These values are taken from your translation settings. For more information on these settings, refer to Transaction SE63 and read the section "Defining Your Translator Settings".

  2. Enter the source text in the Text field in the Source group box.

  3. Choose Find Proposal Pool Entry.

  4. If an entry exists in the system for the source text, the Display/Edit Proposals screen appears.

    To edit one of the proposals, proceed as follows:

    1. Double-click the proposal to select it.

      The initial screen of transaction SLPP appears. The proposal that you double-clicked is displayed in the text field in the Target group box.

    2. Choose Find Proposal Pool Entry.

      You return to the proposal pool screen. The selected proposal is highlighted at the top of the proposal pool.

      You can edit the proposal, or create a new one. For more information, see Changing Proposals in the Proposal Pool and Changing the Quality Status of Proposals.

    If you want to create a different proposal for this source text that does not exist yet in the proposal pool, proceed as follows:

    1. To return to the initial screen of transaction SLPP, choose Back.
