Procedure documentation Translating Objects via a Worklist  Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

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

You have the following two options:

      Accessing an individual object with a double-click, and returning to the worklist after translating it

      Using sequential processing to translate objects 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.      Double-click the object you want to translate.

The system branches directly to the short text editor or long text editor, depending on whether the object you double-clicked is a short text or long text.

       3.      Translate the object, and save your translation.

       4.      Return to your worklist by choosing Back (F3).

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

Using Sequential Processing

You can translate objects sequentially. This means the system calls up the objects that require translating one after the other. This depends on how you have defined your worklist settings. Proceed as follows:

...

       1.      First, ensure that your worklist settings enable sequential processing.

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

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

       4.      Choose Sequential Processing.

The system branches directly to the short text editor or long text editor (depending on whether the object you are processing belongs to a short or long text object type).

       5.      Translate the object, and save your translation.

       6.      To branch to the next object in your worklist (without having to return to your worklist and double-click it yourself), choose the Next Object This graphic is explained in the accompanying text icon.

NoteIf you need to go back to the previous object, choose the Previous Object This graphic is explained in the accompanying text icon.

       7.      Repeat steps 5 and 6.

       8.      After you translate the last object underneath this object type, and choose the Next Object This graphic is explained in the accompanying text icon, the system returns to the worklist.

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

   10.      Repeat these steps until you have translated all objects in your worklist.
