Maintain Translations for Text Elements for Classes

[Former Member]

Hi,

I need to maintain the translations for Text Elements in Classes. I am able to do this in ECC 6.0 however I cannot do it in 4.6c. In 4.6c I get this error message that I have to do it using SE63.

When I goto SE63, I don't see text elements listed for this class at all.

As a workaround I am maintaining them in ECC 6.0 and will have them transported to 4.6c. Now the issue is when I use the program RS_LXE_*_TORDER to create a transport request for the translated text, it does not pick up the translated text for the Class. The class does not show in the transport request at all.

I would appreciated if anyone can let me know a workaround or the process for doing this.

Thanks a lot.

You don't see them, or you can't find them?

In SE63 select from the menu:

translation->abap objects->short texts.

in next pop-up select S3 abap texts and next double click on REPT text elements.

On next screen enter the name of your class, select source and target language and press button EDIT.

One question for you:

In your class, when you go to your text elements, can't you just translate them via menu option

GOTO->translation.

And next use the report you mentioned?

Hi Micky,

Thank you for your response. I tried going through SE24, clicked on Goto -> Translation and saved the translated text. When I used the program to create the transport it did not pick up the translations for the class.

I also tried what you had mentioned, my target lang was DE and source lang was EN. SE63 reported and error 'Source Language Invalid'.

Why can't I do it in 4.6c? Is it that I have to look for an OSS Note. I just get the message Goto SE63 when I try doing it from SE24 and when I do it in SE63 it doesn't show me the text elements for me to translate. Anything that I am missing.

Thank you for time.

Hi Micky,

I got the issue solved. I made the translations in a Non Unicode 4.7 system and had the texts elements for the Class transported. Along with the Class texts even the translations got transported to the 4.6c system.

Thanks,
