Finding Full Texts for an Abbreviation in SLPPLocate this document in the navigation structure

Use

The Find Full Texts tab in transaction SLPP enables you to display full texts for an abbreviation in the proposal pool. Abbreviations are monolingual, which means they are always created for a full text in the same language, not for a combination of source and target languages. For example, a translator could create Bus. Trans. as an English abbreviation of the English system standard Business Transaction. You therefore specify just one language, not a combination of source and target languages, on the Find Full Texts tab.

Prerequisites

Abbreviated translations in the short text editor have been defined as abbreviations in the proposal pool.
