Hi Abhishek,

You can use transaction SE63 to do this. Depending on the SAP release the menupath is a little bit different. For 46C it is Translation -> Short text -> Data dictionary -> data elements.

Kind regards,

John.

Hi,

I think you didn't get it right . I need to do this in a report program. For this i require a function module for language conversion.Please suggest me a function module.

Regards

If you are talking about Standard Text.

Then you can use SO10 Tcode and Use Utilities --> Copy from Client.

Hi,

It is not a standard text. The text is stored in a table . I need to extract this text from the table in a report and do a language conversion. For this i require a function module or any other logic.

Regards

Abhishek

which version of R/3 you are using. if its WAS6.2 and above we can use some freely available webservice to do the translation.

let me know the R/3 version, i will post a code sample for the same.

one suggestion from my side

ignore it if not suitable.

1. remove all hardcoded text from your report i.e. all text in single qotes. like write 'hello...'. or message with 'hello...'. And instead of this place text element txt-001, txt-002 ...........so on .( i have done this for our product and now it is available in six languages), tell me if you need details.

2. if you looking for examples related to a FM, goto se37, enter FM name. and press 'Where Used' button.

regards

Hi,

You have to create your own translation dictionary.

Create a Ztable with the corresponding translation.

Ztable fields:

1- original language

2- translated language

3- original text field or expression

4- translated text field or expression

example:

EN FR house maison

FR EN auto car

FR DE bonjour guten tag
