Local Lists

Just like an object list, a local list is a list of translation objects that you can create directly in transaction LXE_MASTER, or by executing reports that perform a text search or a text compare according to an object list.

Unlike an object list, you can create a local list by importing a list of translation objects or transport objects from a .csv file, or by maintaining parameters that enable local lists to be created dynamically.

A local list can be useful in the following situations:

If you want to find out if a specific set of translation objects has been translated, you can list them in a .csv file and then use the .csv file to create a local list.
The local list enables you to call up an on-the-fly worklist in transaction SE63 to see if the objects have been translated or not.
If you need translators to change translations in a specific set of translation objects, you can list them in a .csv file and then use the .csv file to create a local list.
Translators can use the local list to call up an on-the-fly worklist in transaction SE63, and then change the translations. From the translator's point of view, this is far more efficient than calling up each translation object directly for translation.

Note Calling up an on-the-fly worklist in transaction SE63 is a performance-intensive activity that could result in a timeout. If you create a local list that is very large, consider using it to create an object list in transaction LXE_MASTER. You can evaluate the object list to put the translation objects into a standard worklist with translation statistics.

Prerequisites

To generate a local list by performing a text search or text compare according to an object list, you need the standard authorizations for running reports in the background.
To create a local list in transaction LXE_MASTER by importing objects from a .csv file, or to create a dynamic local list, you must be defined as a coordinator for all languages **** and have authorization object LOLI Create or Delete Local Lists with value 01 Create Allowed or 02 Create and Delete Allowed.
To create a local list by importing objects from a .csv file, a suitable .csv file is required.
To create a dynamic local list, you must first create a function module that enables you to find the required translation objects.
