Adding Documentation

Former Member — Mon, 17 Oct 2005 19:33:19 GMT

I'm trying to add documentation to an ABAP program. I login using language DE then go into SE80 click on change mode then "Goto" then "Documentation" and I receive the following error message: Bitte das Dokument in der Sprache Englisch pflegen.

Note: The documentation already exist in English and I'm trying to add the documentation in German.

Any insight,

Bill

Its saying.....

<i>Maintain please the document in the language English</i>

Can you only maintain the program documentation in its original language?

Have you tried.... Go To - > Translation?

I don't think that the "translation" will help you. It looks to me that you can only have the documentation in the original language of the program.

I say this because if I log on in "DE" and create a program, I can then add the documentation in "DE".

But I think of you logon in English and go to translation, you can create documentation in German. (Or then again, maybe that's what you were saying.)

Yes, that's what I was saying, but when I checked into in my system, nothing really jumped out at me about documenation translation.

I was able to translate by going to SE38, entering the program name, pressing the documentation radio button and then Goto->Translation. It lets you translate line by line. There's no proposal pool, so you have to do it yourself.

That's what I like about this forum. You learn a ton more by answering questions than by asking them.
