Generated Objects for TranslationLocate this document in the navigation structure

Definition

Some ABAP applications generate objects at runtime. The system maintains the generated attribute for such objects in table TADIR.

Use

The standard setting in transaction Translation Administration (LXE_MASTER) determines that you cannot translate objects with the generated attribute in transaction SE63. This prevents unnecessary translation work. The generated object texts are maintained by SAP in other objects (often as table entries) and are translated in these objects. Normally, applications generate objects in customer systems in which the required languages have been installed, which means there is no need to translate generated objects.

If you want to translate generated objects, you can use transaction LXE_MASTER to open them for translation. You can restrict this activity to specific object types, or you can open all generated objects for translation.
