Smartform translation

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I have developed a Smartform in EN language. Now, i need to translate the smartform in to DE language. How to acheive the same?

I have gone through the replies in Forum, but i am not really sure about the procedure. Everywhere i see replies to use SE63. But how to use it and what needs to be done is what my question is.

Lets say, i have a smartform developed. Now if i want to translate the same to a different language, where do i start?

Also, if i need the smartform in different language, do i need to create another smartform or can i use the same?

Kindly help me out with this issue. Thanks in advance.

Best Regards,

Ram.

Hi

These are the steps to be followed and after you perform Translation, you can use the same smartform:

1. goto Transaction SE63

2. in R3 Enterprise select form menu

Translation - ABAP Objects - Other long texts

3. select FS - SSF-Smart Form

4. Object Name: choose your smart form

5. select target language

6. press edit

Hi Vishwa,

Thanks for quick reply.

Once i press Edit, what do i do next.

I see the texts available in my current smartform in EN. At the bottom half i see the translated texts. Few are available and few are missing.

What do i do with the missing ones?

How do i make use of this texts?

Hi

In the bottom block, you have to provide the translation in the reqd language.

In case its missing ask your fcon for the translated text. Just copy paste the text there and it'll be fine.

Whenever you execute ur form in "DE", the translated text should appear...

First of all what you need to do is, in your driver program declare texts where ever you need some text to be displayed on the form.

EG: Address: zxxxx-bbbb (Here declare address as a text element in your drv prog and pass this to the SF and use this in the SF)

Next step is to use language translation.

Translation>R3 Enterprise>short texts-->text elements

Now give your target language and orig lang and then execute, in the nxt screen give translated form of the text element you wish to convert.

Login to the desired language and then execute the form. This is quite simple, just give it a try.

Hi,

Use T/code SE63>Translation(Menubar)>Abap objects> Other Long Texts>select " SSF"-->Enter Smartform name and from language and destination language.

Transporting

Please execute the following program for transporting text : RS_LXE_RECORD_TORDER

Target language = * or Target transalation lang.

Object type = SSF

Then Press Create Transport Request button. Create Request.

Then include all your translations to that request.

Suresh

Hi,

SE63>Translation>ABAP Objects->Other long texts->Forms and Styles-->Forms===>

now in the Object name<Client><Form name> like "230z_test"->check for the Source language and Target,if u have created from in English so in source it shud be EN and set the Taget LAng->Edit====>

to Translate "Descriptions" and "WIndows Texts and Documentation" >"change"->Maintain Translations->"Release" (icon)>once all are translated and release.
