Can you use text elements for screen?

I have a button which says Continue, Can I translate the Continue to ES?

I do not want to change it. I want to translate it like you would translate a selection screen or other text elements.

Megan,

It is possible to translate button texts to other languages directly - you do not need to use text element for that (though it is possible!). To translate a button text on a screen:

1) Open screen in Screen painter (using SE80 or SE51).

2) Use menu Goto --> Translation

3) Enter target language (ES in your case)

4) Double click on line under "Screen painter texts"

5) Find your button

6) Double click on your button icon - this should create a copy of that icon under it.

7) Click on this newly created icon and enter translation

😎 Save

Hope this helps.

Regards

Ken

If you want to change the text of the button from continue to ES and vice versa.

When you click on continue, set a flag to 'X' in PAI, and in PBO, check value of flag - if flag is 'X'.

loop at screen.

if screen-name = 'CONTINUE'.

screen-name = 'ES'.

modify screen.

endif.

endloop.
