smart forms

Hi Abap Gurus,

My Requirement is I need to translate the standard and custom texts from English to German language Language in the custom smart forms.

it is a big smart form where we have almost 30 windows and difficult to find out the texts in each window.

can you suggest me how to go ahead and proceed? I have many similar kind of smart forms to work on.

Note : In my previous organisation my Team has created one tool (custom Program) where we can just download the form into Presentation server with all the texts existing in smart form with Excel attachment and after making necessary changes(converting English to German) just by using that custom program we are Uploading the Excel sheet and further it updates all the Required Texts in that smart form.

Eagerly waiting for your reply.

Hi Srinivas,

To find standard text used in smartform-

Open the Function module that is generated for the Smartform...

Then in the FM search for term "PERFORM %MOVE USING %TEXTKEY-NAME" In main program.

Then you will see the list of all the standard text used in Smart form.

In below screen shot 'Y_PHONE' is the name of standard text.

Once you have the list of standard text names used in smart form you can simply go to SO10 and translate them.

For hardcoded text you can use SE63 for translation.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Vikas
