Translating Objects via a Worklist (SAP Library

Translating Objects via a Worklist

After you have called up a worklist, you can access the objects that it contains to translate them.

You have the following options:

● Double-clicking an individual object. After you have translated this object, you return to the worklist.

● Using sequential processing to translate all objects under a specific object type in succession, without having to return to the worklist.

Translating Individual Objects in a Worklist

...

1. Expand your worklist tree to display the objects contained in it.

2. Select a text object in the worklist by double-clicking it.

The system branches directly to the short text editor or long text editor, depending on the object type.

3. Translate the object and save it.

4. To return to your worklist, choose Back (F3).

5. Repeat this procedure until you have translated all of the objects in your worklist.

Sequential Processing

You can translate objects sequentially. This means that the system calls up the objects that need translating one after the after. Your worklist settings determine how this happens. Proceed as follows:

...

1. First, ensure that sequential processing has been activated in your worklist settings.

2. Expand your worklist tree to display the objects contained in it.

3. Place your cursor on the first object in the list of objects under a specific object type.

4. Choose Sequential Processing.

The system branches directly to the short text editor or long text editor, depending on the object type.

5. Translate the object and save it.

6. To branch to the next object in your worklist, without having to return to your worklist, choose the This graphic is explained in the accompanying text icon.

If you want to return to the previous object, choose the This graphic is explained in the accompanying text icon.

7. Repeat steps 5 and 6.

After you have translated the last object of this object type, the system returns to the worklist.

8. Now place your cursor on the first object of another object type, and choose Sequential Processing again.

9. Repeat steps 4 to 8 until you have translated all of the objects in your worklist.

Get/Extend Worklist

The Get/Extend Worklist pushbutton enables you to reserve more objects in your personal worklist. You return to the Get Worklist screen. You can restrict your selection to specific collections, domains, or object types in the usual way.

Sort Worklist

You can change how your worklist is sorted by choosing Utilities → Sort Worklist. This setting is retained even if you log off the system, log on again, and then call up the worklist again.

Refresh Status

You can update the translation status of the objects by choosing Utilities → Refresh Status.

Select Locally Saved Versions

You can display a symbol in your personal worklist that shows you the long text objects for which a raw version exists. Depending on how your worklist is sorted, place the cursor on the collection or object group level for which you want to display this information, and choose Utilities → Select Locally Saved Versions. The long text objects for which a raw version exists are flagged with *.

Technical Information

You can display technical information on each object. To do so, choose Utilities → Technical Information.

Preview

Your worklist enables you to display objects the way end users will see them. Place the cursor on an object and choose Utilities → Preview. You are taken to the Source Language dialog box, which enables you to double-click the source language in which you want to display the object. You are then taken to the Target Language dialog box, where you double-click the required target language.

Unicode Text Length Check

This function is only relevant for you if you translate short text objects into a multibyte language, such as Japanese, Korean or Chinese, in a Unicode translation system. If you choose Utilities → Unicode Text Length Check or the This graphic is explained in the accompanying text icon, the system highlights the short text objects in which translations exceed the permitted length. You can remove these highlights again by choosing Utilities → Delete Result of Text Search or the icon. This function is also available in the short text editor.
