Text Translation - Is Batch Input Possible

Former Member — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 10:38:01 GMT

Hi All,

Is anyone aware of a way of performing a batch load of translated texts?

Our system needs to support a new logon language for a foreign site (as well as the current languages).

We need to create translations of the Z messages, Z program texts etc. to support the additional logon language.

The text data has been extracted and sent to an external company for translation, we were hoping to be able to perform a batch load of the returned texts (currently in an excel spreadsheet).

However, SE63 does not support batch input, and if we attempt to logon in the new language to input the texts directly, SAP insistes that we change the original language which we do not wish to do.

Some of the older objects originated in a previous system, so for them we cannot change the original language if we wanted to.

Any ideas?

Hi Robin,

Is the system Unicode Enabled and are you using gui_upload?Please let me know.

We use Codepage option to display desired source codepage.This option if not set the uses the default SAP GUI setting.

It has four digit number for the source codepage.

Function Module SCP_CODEPAGE_BY_EXTERNALNAME gives you the codepage number

Function Module : NLS_GET_FRONTEND_CP gives non-unicode frontend codepage for a language.

Hope your query resolves soon.

Have a best day ahead.

Further info:

We are on a 46C system - therefore not unicoded.

The main issue is the input of the text data in the additional language,

Hi Robin,

Then I think you need to maintain the language text manually.Please try the Tcode SO10 or use RSTXTRAN report.Hope it resolves the query.

Have a best day ahead.

Hi Robin,

Ya, Text Translation using Batch input is possible for Zmessage. use tcode SE91 for translation, create BDC program to upload the flat file having translated text, record in SHDB as tcode-> se91->input message class, Number->select change->go to->translation->provide language->enter->select copy source code->EDIT->find and replace in target text->give find text and replace it with translated text->replace->save
