sapscript translation

Former Member — Wed, 09 Nov 2005 13:17:36 GMT

Hi All,

I want to translate a script from english to spanish.

I am aware that this can be done through se63/se76. when i use any of this transaction it asks me for the translation rather than SAP doing it for me. I was of the opinion that SAP does it.

Please let me know if this is the way translation of scripts is done

Thanks for your suggestions.

If you want to translate a sapscript, you should create a new version (for your new language) of the sapscript. Use transaction se71 to do that.

Insert the name of your sapscript and the id (ES) of the language, then push icon create.

So you'll have a spanish version of your sapscript, but all text elements are still wroten in emglish: you have to change them.

Remember that technical parameters (as paragraph, size of windows...) can be changed only on version of the original language.

Is Spanish language installed in your system .

Run report RSPARAM and look for parameter zcsa/installed_languages .

You can also go to SE63 Translation->long texts->Sapscript and translate it.

To answer your question, SAP does not automatically translate your custom SAPScripts.

You need to to create the SAPScript in Spanish in SE71.

Then, in the SE71, you need to change the texts to Spanish.

The better strategy is:

Minimize the texts native in the SAPScript. Instead, move the texts to Standard Texts (SO10). Then, use the 'Include Text' feature of the relevant language from System Variable.

Then, you need not maintain the SAPScript for each language. Instead, you can just maintain the standard texts in each language.

Hi ,

Use SE63.

In Menubar Translation--> select other long text --> select Form for lyout sets or SSF for smart forms.
