otr translation

[former_member305388]

Hi Experts,

For a standard webdynpro component an enhancement has been done in the view and a new Text View has been added in the layout. Now I want to translate the text which is displayed in the screen in different language. The text is shown as

$OTR:Z/SCI_ADDITIONAL_DATA

I was trying to translate the otr in se63 - Translation - ABAP Objects - Transport Objects

Here I have entered R3TR SOTR but what should i enter the package name?

Is there any other way to translate the enhanced object text?

I tried the tool in this page but it does not show the enhancement implementation OTRs

Hi Chandrashekhar,

In SOTR_EDIT when i enter the language as FI and Alias as the Z/SCI_ADDITIONAL_DATA and click create it says alias already exists, but the Alias exists only in EN and DE, how do i translate it?

Hi,

Please find below steps for OTR translation using SOTR_EDIT.

Step 1: Go to Transaction SOTR_EDIT

Step 2: Put the Alias nameand display

Step 3: Go to Edit->Context->Change menu .

Step 4: Do not choose anything in the popup. Just Hit Enter.

Step 5: You will be in change mode. Now select the language (e.g. DE)

Step 6: Blank out the Length field. Enter the text in Text field. The length will come automatically. (Or you can also specify the max value here).

Step 7: Now Press Save button. The text has been saved.

Step 8: Now select other language from dropdown (E.g. EL Greek) and change the Text and blank out the Length field (you can also specify Max length here as per your choice)

And press Save. In similar way, you can just create the OTR for Multilanguageu2019s.

Step 9: At last save and come out. Enter another Alias and repeat the procedure.

I hope this will solve your problem.

Thanks,

Chandra

Hi Srinivas,

Follow the following steps:

1. Open T-Code SOTR_EDIT.

2. Enter Language as 'EN'(Language in which OTR was originally created) and Alias name.

3. Press Display button.

4. Goto Edit->Context->Change.

5. Discard the Context(Country/Industry) Popup by pressng the cancel button.

6. Change the langauge to desired one.

7. provide the desired text.

8. Press save.

This will translate ur OTR to desired langauge.

Be sure not to modify the Package/Alias entries.

Dear Srinivas Kalluri

Just one important tip for you.

When dealing with OTR translations, sometimes you get surprises related with translations that do not appear.

Even though everything was done correctly.

This is related with the OTR buffer.

You might need to execute transaction

/$OTR

to clear that buffer.

But you can get more info by reading SAP Note: 448220

Kind Regards

Hi ,

For translation ,execute Tcode : sort_edit

Input all the required fields .To maintain the text in another language

Follow : edit >>context>>change

From here you can easily maintain the text for your label in another language .

Hope this will help you .

Regards,

Dinesh
