translate role description

[Former Member]

We need to have the role description in two languages (English and German).

All roes have been build using an English logon so the only available description is currently in English.

We have been able to translate the menu entries, but the customer wants the description of the role to be in German when a user logs on in German.

We cannot find how to do that

Any ideas? Or rather experiences ??

Do you mean you're looking for a way to get translated texts into the role description for German or do you want to copy the texts from the english description to the german description so they're visible in SU01 etc. (without actually translating)?

What the customer wants is;

When a user logs on in German he should see the German name of the role and when a when a user logs in in English he should see the English name of the role.

Is there any way to do this as we can ONLY find a function to translate menu entries not the description.

Auke,

I've looked in SE63 and found the menu items (node/folder texts) for a role (Labeled AGR_HIERT) as well as the short text, labeled AGR_TEXTS..

So I'd say you can translate them there. Which one of us is missing something ?

> Any ideas?

An English user ID and a German ID call transaction PFCG from the same terminal at the same time.

The German hits "Edit" first, and the English ID copy&paste's into Babblefish.

How about creating an ECATT script to automate the task? That should speed you up.
