Hi all,

I need to know if there is a way to call text symbols in a different language? I need to call the following text in german depending on certain prior conditions but when i log in to the SAP system it is in english.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

WRITE: /2(15) TEXT-052,

20 SY-VLINE,

21(35) TEXT-053,

102 SY-VLINE,

103 TEXT-055.

Thanks

Hai,

After you enter your text symbol. In the menu bar 'GOTO'--> 'TRANSLATION'.

Give ur source language and target language.

Here u can enter ur translated text and save it.

So that if u logon in to ur target language the corresponding text will be displayed.

Cheers,

Umasankar

Seema,

You should maintain that translations in SE63, then when the user logs in a different language, the corresponding language text is automatically picked up by the system.

The transaction for this SE63.

In SE63, follow this link

Translation --> R/3 Enterprise --> Other Longg Texts.

Double click on "Forms" if it is a Script. choose SAP Smartforms if it is a smartform.

Now you can enter the script/smartform name for which u want to maintain translations and then choose the language.

Your statement should Write 😕 Text-001.

Now, Text-001 will have to be maintained in all the languages you want, in SE63.

Depending on which language the user logs in that language text will be printed.

Hi Seema,

You always want this text to be displayed in German when you login in English language?

You can make the translation in German.

Goto -> Translations will list all the texts used in your program.

Corresponding to text-052, give your translated text in German.

Every time, you run the program, this text in German will be displayed.
