Long text message

[Former Member]

Hi,

Please help.

I had to change long text message which I did using SE91 transaction. A popup window appeared asking for modification name. I gave the message class name as modification name. The long text message is maintained in EN lang.

I have to translate this message into DE which I tried to do with SE63 transaction

(Long Text->Other Documentation-> Message Documentation) . But the changes done in SE91 does not appear in SE63 screen. The old long text message (both source and target )appears with some Docu comments .

But when I execute the program by logging in EN lang, the long text message appears with the recent changes . But in DE the long text message is blanks.

Please do let me know why discrepancy exists in the long text message shown in SE91 and SE63 transaction. Please advise what must be done to make the changes appear in SE63 transaction and Text translation.

Thank You.

Uma,

Go to SE91.

GIVE THE MESSAGE CLASS NAME AND THE MESSAGE NUMBER FOR WHICH YOU HAVE CREATED THE LONG TEXT.

SELECT THAT PARTICULAR MESSAGE.

GO TO THE MENU BAR.

IN ONE OF THE OPTIONS YOU WILL FIND TRANSLATE.

CLICK ON THAT AND CHANGE THE TARGET LANGUAGE.

Try doing this and reward if found useful.

hi,

If you are looking for the translations for the text-symbols and selection texts used in your program, you need not require to use Transaction SE63. Instead you can do this in SE38 (or SE80)itself.

For getting the translations in DE version, you need to maintain the corresponding DE version of text-symbols and selection texts in the EN version of the program.

for example, to maintain text elements in both versions, you can follow the steps mentioned below:

STEP1: in EN version, from the ABAP editor, GOTO->SELECTION TEXTS->TEXT ELEMENTS navigating from the menu bar.

STEP2: Select a particular text element and navigate as GOTO->TRANSLATION

STEP3: Now you get a popup, asking for source language and target language

STEP4: Choose DE as target lang and EN as source lang; press enter

STEP5: Now you are in a new screen, where you need to enter the DE text just below the EN Text appears

STEP6: Save and comeback; activate the program

STEP7: login in DE lang and see the difference

You can follow the above steps, for any selection texts, list headings or

text symbols in the program
