Have maintained the translations for these texts ?

In the text symbols screen, choose the menu option Goto --> Translation , give the original & target languages and maintain the texts in the respective languages.

Thanks,

Renjith

Hi Vicky,

You can do that.

Use path : Se38~~> Program name~~> Text elements ~~Select text element~~> Goto(Menubar) --> translation

Hello VIkas,

In 4.6C for translating text elements, please goto Text Element screen in change mode. Now Goto-> Translation. Enter the Language <from> , <to> and Translated Text. Now Logoff and login with the new language and you will see the translated text elements. I tested and this works for me.

Thanks,

Venu

Hi,

Thanks for the speedy response ....I did go into the translation and over there it gives me the text for ex : TEST and underneath it I get a Text box which is empty, any more comments would be greatly appreciated.I think the sap should poulate the value in the converted language.

Thanks

Hi,

SAP will not provide the translation.You need to write the translation in what ever language you want.

Hi All,

After I give the orig language and translated language it takes me to another screen where it gives the original language text element here for Ex: TEST and underneath it gives me a text box which is empty, do you guys do anything over there, do u fill any information I put in the same text element TEST in the test box if sap does not translate this into the neccessary language then how will I enter the transalted language with an english keyboard.

Thanks again

Vikas

Hi Vick,

I generally get the translations in a word document.I do a Cut & paste there at the empty text boxes.

Hi vicky,

SAP will Provide translations for only data elements, domains etc.. For your text elements get the translations and paste in the empty box.
