Translate Documentation

[Former Member]

Hello,

I have created a new Data Element and now i want to translate the Documentation. The "Short Description" is already translated, but i cant find the Documentation.

I found SE63 ->  Long Texts -> Data Elements.. (I don't know the Object Name of the Data Element)

Or is there an other way to translate the Documentation?

SE63-> Translation -> ABAP Objects-> Long texts(Documentation) -> (Look for F1 Help) -> DE (data elements). Enter object name(data element name) -> Click Edit

[RaymondGiuseppi]

Or SE63, input 'DE' in ok-code. (But OP has already find the menu path)

Thanks for your quick Response!

I already tried it with Object Name: <data element name>.

SAP Message: Object not found.

Have you created the documentation already before doing SE63?

SE11 -> data Element -> Go To -> Documentation -> Change. Save/Activate

[RaymondGiuseppi]

1. (First reflex to build) Activate the data element and the long text.
2. Try also to change the long text, you should get a pop-up "Change relevant to translation", if not restart from first step

I had the same problem with "Object not found" error message - choosing the language of translation during logon helped 🙂

try this ...

Maintain F1 Help Documentation In multiple languanges:

here i explain translate documentation for new created data element (english and German).

Mostly error we are getting in SE63 -> "Object Not Found" when we enter the data element name in Object name column.

solution:

STEP 1 : To create the document for the data element as its original language ( refer the Attributes of Data element). In arrtibutes Data element in EN the we should create initial document in English Only.

TO MAINTAIN THE INITIAL DOCUMENT.

Go SE61--> choose the Document Class ( here i enter data element)

give the data element's language in Language field.

to maintain new document press create.

to chenge or adding new text lines or else....press chenge button.

after choosing Word editer will open here you can type and save it and ACTIVATE the Document.(make sure your document is active state)

if you get the above error, go check your new data element weather active or not(may be not present in DDIC)

STEP 2: Now we can translate the document that already we created in SE61

steps:

Go se63 (TRANSLATE EDITOR) --> long texts --> choose F1 help --> choose DE ( data elements)

in below screenshot you can enter object name as Data element name ( if you correctly follow the above steps now you don't receive the error of ' Object Not Found ' .

enter Data element name , select the source language as document's Originall language and choose the target language then hit the Edit Button.

one popup will come read and select yes or no...if click yes...editer screen will open

Here you can enter the texts( texts must be in Target language) and save it.

and activate.

now your document available with respective of system language.

if..follows above steps then results will be...

sy-langu = EN then se11 --> data element --> documentation --> see texts are in english

sy-langu = DE then se11 --> data element --> documentation --> see texts are in German.(whatever you enter in SE63)
