Translation with OTR

[Denis_Müller]

Hello

I have to translate my webdynpro from german in english.

i opened the transaction sotr_edit, choose short text and insert an alias e.g. vorname (in english first name). Now i fill in a packet and the objecttype WDYV. In the field text i insert "Vorname" and length is 4.

now i insert in my webdynpro "$OTR:vorname" into the field text of my view.

if i test the webdynpro now there is the identifier "Vorname". Thats right.

if i change the parameter "sap-language" in the link to "EN" an test it i get also "Vorname".

How can i translate the object now?

what are the steps?

I read that i musst use the transaction SE63. But there is no OTR in this transaction.

Call the function module SOTR_API_WB_TRANSLATE in SE37 with the parameter:

SOURCE_LANGU DE

TARGET_LANGU EN

PGMID LIMU

OBJECT WDYV

OBJ_NAME <<name of your component>>
FLAG_STRING
EDIT_MODE T



Or you use transaction SE63, Menü Translation->ABAP-Objects->Short Texts, then select OTR. But if you have more than two OTR-Concepts, this is realy time consuming.

[Denis_Müller]

what is <<name of your component>> ?

The name of the component, where the OTR-Concept is used.

The function module displays a screen, where you can translate all staticaly referenced OTR texts. You must not pass the whole component name. To use wildcard % is also allowed. For example if your component is ZDW_TEST01 then you can call the function module with ZDW_% and you can edit all OTR texts of all components starting with this string.

Use transaction SE63 to translate the long text and alias texts you have

created into another language.

Follow the menu Translation -> OTR -> Short Texts / Long Texts
