Hello

My requirement is to maintain F1 Help in different languages .

For this i entered a documentation for the data element in English language .Now i need to maintain the long text for the documentation in different language. SE63 -> Translation ->ABAP Objects -> Long Text(Documentations) -> C6 F1 Help ->DE Data Elements ;  i entered the object name : <Data element name>, and entered source and destination languages.  On pressing "Edit"  i am getting " Object not found " error.See the attachment.

Please help.

Hi Biby,

is your data element active? And can you see the documentation (long text) in SE11 pressing the Documentation button??

Hi Biby,

The reasons would be either the data element was is not acive... or In SE63,along with object name you have to select Translation Area,without this you can't proceed forward.

Let me know your issue status after this check

Hello Mr. KLaus and Mr.Pawan ,

Data element is active and i can see the documentation on pressing SE11. I have selected translation area as 999999 ( defaulted) . On pressing "Edit" I am getting Error "Object not found".

Thanks,

Hi,

You have to add your data element first to your worklist by clicking "MY Worklist" button SE63.

Give your Data element name in the next screen in the object name and press the cancel button

It should give you a popup to save that in a worklist.. Select  the source and target language correctly and then press the green arrow button at the buttom.

Then try to do the same way that you have been trying. It should open a different screen now.

Hi Biby,

please make sure, that the documentation exists in the source language.

I'm always using translation area 999999 and it's working fine for me. I'm getting the error message only, if the source object (data element) has no documentation in the source language.

There is no need for me to add the element to a worklist.

You can validate your documentation language with SE61 for class data element, your source language and your data element. Or you can find an entry in table DOKIL for id DE and your data element as object. You can see the existing documentation language here.

Hello all ,

My issue is resolved . Thank you all for your help.

Solution :

Go to SE61. Enter the data element and press Create or Change . Go to Change Editor , enter the text and activate it from the change editor .

Go to SE63 -> Translation -> ABAP Objects-> Long texts(Documentation) -> C6 F1 Help -> DE Data elements

Enter   Object name: <data element name>
           Translation area : 999999

            Source language : Press F4 and get it
            Destination language : Press F4 and get it.

Press Edit button.

It opens an editor . Click on the icon "Copy Source text" . It will copy the source text.Then replace it with the destination language you wanted .( If you do not use the "Copy Source button it wont work).

Save and Activate.
