[Business Graphics] Translation of captions

[guillaume-hrc]

Hi,

I have some Business Graphics elements in my Web Dynpro component.

I used the Chart Designer to customize the appearance and add some titles (chart, X-axis, ...) but - to my opinion - this result in an XML file located in the MIME repository: SAP/BC/WebDynpro/SAP/Zxxx/4OQN7xxxxxx.xml

Now, I have to make available in 5 languages.

Does anyone know how should I proceed to translate the texts that are embedded within this XML file... ?

Should I keep the XML file and implement another layer for the translation trough METHODHANDLER attribute (reference variable of type IF_WD_BUSIN_GRAPHICS_MTD_HNDL) of the Business Graphics control in the WDDOMODIFYVIEW( )?

I guess this should be possible to load the initial XML file, use regular expressions to change the various captions, and inject the modified XML??

--> this looks very much like what is done in report GRAPHICS_IGS_CE_TEST...

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Guillaume

Download your initial XML, translate, upload with name business_graphic_customization_<LANG(1)>.xml

  check first_time = abap_true.
