Translating Tiles, Catalogs, and Groups in the Configuration LayerLocate this document in the navigation structure

You want to change the translated text of SAP Fiori launchpad tiles, catalogs, or group titles in the configuration layer. This is possible using the standard SAP translation tools.

Context

An end user of the launchpad has reported an issue with a translated text in a tile, catalog, or group title.

To find the text in the translation system and correct it, translators require the text ID and the configuration ID. To retrieve these IDs, you use Fiori Launchpad Checks (transaction /UI2/FLC).

To translate the texts, you access the standard SAP translation environment. The translation follows the standard ABAP translation process. This is the same process as for translating Web Dynpro component configurations.

Caution To translate texts, only start SAP Fiori launchpad in the original language. Otherwise, you receive an error message when saving the configuration.

Procedure

  1. To find the relevant texts in the translation system, determine the configuration ID and the text ID:
    1. In the system in which you run the SAP Fiori launchpad (on the front-end server for SAP Fiori launchpad), start Fiori Launchpad Checks (transaction /UI2/FLC).
    2. (Optional) In the Catalog ID field, enter the ID of the catalog.
    3. In the Adaptation Layer section, choose Configuration.
    4. Mark the With Text ID checkbox.

      This option displays a text ID for tiles, catalogs and groups (e.g. M : 1, P : 2).

    5. Choose Execute.
      Note the entry in one of the following fields:

      • Tile Title Text ID

      • Catalog Title Text ID

      • Group Title Text ID

    6. Depending on the first part of the text ID, proceed as follows:

      • M: Copy the configuration ID from the Main WD Config Key field.

      • P: Copy the configuration ID from the Property WD Config Key field.

  2. In the system in which you run the SAP Fiori launchpad (on the front-end server for SAP Fiori launchpad), start transaction SE63.
  3. Choose Start of the navigation path Translation Next navigation step ABAP Objects Next navigation step Transportation Objects End of the navigation path.
  4. In the Transport Object field, enter the following:

    R3TR WDCC <CONFIG_ID>

  5. Select the required source and target languages.
  6. Choose Edit.
  7. Expand the <TLGS> Lockable Logical Objects (Short Texts) node.
  8. Select the entry with table WDY_CONFIG_COMPT.

    This takes you to the standard translation environment.

    To find the relevant text in the result list, search for the number given in the second part of the text ID (see step 1.4).

  9. (Optional) After the translation is completed, an administrator needs to invalidate the back-end caches for all users for which texts may still be stored in the wrong language. To do this, call transaction SE38 and run the report /UI2/INVALIDATE_GLOBAL_CACHES in execution mode. Administration authorization is required to run this report (authorization object: /UI2/CHIP, field ACTVT: 06).
    Note

    This step is only necessary for systems, in which the launchpad is actually used. It is not necessary for systems used only for translation.

Results

The tiles, catalogs, or group titles are displayed with the intended text in SAP Fiori launchpad.
