Populating Description in different language

[former_member197703]

Hi,

While Creating a material i want to populate the material description in different languages (German and Chinese).

But the problem is how to convert the description in different languages in program.

Is there any function module available for translation ?

Please advice.

Hi Amit,

my Requirement:

Material is created in Windchill and then it comes to SAP through a Z BAPI, we are using 'BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA' in this Z BAPI to save the material.

I want to populate the materialdescription table in the save Bapi with the descriptions in different languages along with English. So that the MAKT table will have the description in different languages.

But the problem is, how to translate material description in some other language, is there any function module available to translate ?

Thanks and Regards,

are you going to pass texts for multiple languages in the BAPI or lookign for SAP to do automatic translation?

for the former, try passing the texts with langauge key in MATERIALDESCRIPTION. for later I doubt there is a way.
