  • If you want to apply an object type template to activate object types for a specific target language, you are defined as a coordinator for that language in transaction Translation Administration (LXE_MASTER).
  • If you want to apply an object type template to activate object types for all target languages, you are defined as a coordinator for all languages **** in transaction LXE_MASTER.
