Language Translation

Former Member — Wed, 21 May 2008 12:35:06 GMT

I am trying to convert the opening of a letter into different languages.

For example Dear Mr...should be Sehr geehrte/r Herr...In German. The dear part is stored as a text element so it converts fine, but the MR part is passed as a parameter and using the bleow statement it doens't convert.

How can I conver Mr into Herr using ABAP?

CONCATENATE text-021 iuser_salutation ','
                INTO lt_content-line SEPARATED BY space.

Hi,

1. This is one option.

2. The salutions (in various languages) are stored

in table T522T

where the code (ANRED) for Mr. is 1

1 Mr. Mr .

2 Ms. Ms.

3 Capt. Captain

4 Dr. Doctor

4. U can use this table to get texts in other languages

For 1 = Mr., in DE language, u will find Herr.

regards,

amit m.

Hi,

My suggestion is to maintain translation using SE61 & SE63

and call the function module DOCU_GET_FOR_F1HELP

hope this would solve the purpose

How do you maintain the T522T table?

Hi,

U can maintain entries through SE11/SE12.

Open ur table in SE11/SE12.

utilities->Table contents->Create entries.

In SPRSL give the language key

in ANRED - Give 1 for MR and 2 for MS

In ATEXT and ANRLT give appropriate descriptions.

Another way couldbe maintain translations through SE63 which is safer way always.

Thanks,

Vinod.
