Hello Mili,

DO you mean see the text in engling in the logon lang is EN and in Spanish if logon is ES.

If it is so then do the translation in SE63.

If the orginal langauge of the dataelement is EN then transalte in ES.

Hope u understood else revert back to me.

Are your Z fields based on Z(user defined) data elements? If so, translate them via SE11 - Data Elements > Go To > Translation. They will then appear on the screen when you sign on in Spanish.

There is just a chance that if you are using SAP supplied data elements, then they have not given a Spanish translation - in which case you proceed as above.

If you are using plain texts on the screen - translate that via Screen painter.

Hello Mill,

DO like thgis.

GO to SE11. Give ur data element name and click F7.

Then In the Menu Bar GOTO ---> Tranlsation .

If the orginal lang of the object is EN the give ES as the target langauge and enter

.There u give the translated text and save
