Preparing a System for Translation

Purpose
In order to translate in the R/3 System, you will need to maintain the translation environment.
You set up the translation environment in transactions SLWA and SLWB.
Implementation Considerations
Before you start maintaining the translation environment, you should:
provide or extend system resources - please see System Resource Setup [Page 9]
perform administrative measures and preparation - please see Administrative Measures

[Page 10]
The translation environment must be defined before the start of productive translation.
Integration
After you have completed the above preparation, you start maintaining the translation
environment in transaction SLWA.
Transaction SLWA is used to maintain the control tables for translation and to set up the
translation environment.
Authorization for some of the functions used in SLWA depend on:
the profile S_ADMI_FCD with value TRNR, which is only assigned to administrators - this
is assigned in the user master record
the authorizations assigned to users in the translator profile in transaction SLWA itself.
After you have finished maintaining the translation environment in transaction SLWA, you will
need to run an initial scan of the R/3 System, create language-independent object lists of objects
whose texts need to be translated in the R/3 System, and evaluate these objects in order to
create language-dependent worklists of objects for translation. For this purpose, you use the
Translation Planner in transaction SLWB.
Features
In transaction SLWA, you set up the translation environment. See Setting Up the Translation
Environment [Page 22].
In transaction SLWB, you prepare objects for translation by performing the steps listed below:
schedule an initial run - please see Scheduling an Initial Run [Page 77]
define the source systems for transport scans
define the language priorities and default hosts
create language-independent object lists - please see Object Lists [Page 80]
run the evaluation to create language-dependent worklists and statistics - please see
Evaluation Run [Page 84]

System Resource Setup

Purpose
In order to execute evaluation runs, various minimum requirements must be met. These are
listed under Prerequisites.
Prerequisites
In the SAP translation system, all the source language text objects must be imported and made
accessible for translation. This results in system requirements greater than or equal to those in
the customer system.
In a customer translation system, normally only the new developments and customer
developments or modifications should be translated.
The specifications of database space, main memory, etc. are empirical values that can vary
depending on the system size and load.
Process Flow
These requirements must be met before the start of productive translation.
640
SAP Online Help
28.08.2003
Administrative Measures
Purpose
In order to set up the translation environment, certain administrative measures must be carried
out. These are listed under Prerequisites.
Prerequisites
The respective codepage must be set for the target languages involved in the translation
process.
The parameter zsca/installed languages must be maintained in your respective R/3

System profile in transaction RZ10.
You must have made the codepage settings as described in notes 15023 and 42305 in the
SAP Online Service System. For a detailed explanation of the settings, see note 73606.
Process Flow
These requirements must be met before the start of productive translation.

Proposal Pool Transport

Use
Whenever a new translation system is set up or a development (or part of a development) moves
from one translation system to another, you may need to transport the proposal pool [Ext.] from
the source system (such as the legacy system, a general reference system, or the system
previously used to translate the development) to the new translation system (target system). This
ensures that the target system contains proposals for translations that already exist. The source
text lines in question therefore have the translation status [Ext.] Translated and do not need to be
edited again. You can also use translations stored in the source systems proposal pool for
source text lines that need to be translated in the new translation system, or for which you want to
perform automatic distribution [Page 90].
Prerequisites
A suitable proposal pool exists. For example, it originates from one of the following systems:
Legacy system of the system to be set up
General reference system
System in which the imported development, or part of a development, was originally

translated
Features
You can transport a translation systems entire proposal pool to another translation system, or
you can transport just part of a proposal pool (delta). For example, you could restrict the transport
to proposals changed after a certain date, or proposals that belong to a specific domain. When
deciding whether to export the entire proposal pool or just part of the proposal pool, you must
consider the following:
Type of Target System

If you set up a translation system whose contents are based on an existing
translation system (for example, a translation system in which a later release of the
same product is translated), it is usually the case that many of the translationrelevant domains match. (Domains are the approximate equivalent of components
in earlier releases of the ABAP environment.) In this situation, it is a good idea to
import the source systems entire proposal pool. The prerequisite is that the quality
of proposals in the source systems proposal pool is satisfactory. For more
information, see the next point.
If just some of the target systems contents match the contents of an existing
translation system (for example, part of a development moves from one system to
another), it is usually the case that most components do not match. In this situation,
you should only transport that part of the proposal pool for which the target system
contains suitable source text entries.
640

SAP Online Help
28.08.2003
The standard translation system at your company has been used to translate source
texts from the domains Basis (BC), Financial Accounting (FI), Payroll (PY), and
Logistics (LO). A new translation system for the area of banking is needed to
translate source texts from the domain Bank Components (IS-B), and source texts
from the domains BC and FI. The domains PY and LO are irrelevant for the banking
translation system. In this situation, you should only transport the proposal pool for
the domains BC and FI from the standard translation system to the banking
translation system.
Quality of Existing Proposal Pool

If you transport a proposal pool, all of the source text lines in the target system for
which the transported proposal pool contains valid translations are assigned the
translation status [Ext.] Translated. This means they are no longer automatically
included in translation worklists. Therefore, you should only transport proposal pools
if you are sure that their translations are relevant and correct for the new translation
system. However, if you know that the legacy system contains many translations
whose terminology is incorrect (because the legacy systems proposal pool already
contains a mixture of other systems proposal pools, for example, or because the
translations in the legacy system are incorrect), you are advised to refrain from
importing the proposal pool into the new translation system or to use a proposal
pool from a reference system whose terminology is correct.
If you do not import a proposal pool, the system cannot assign valid proposals to the
translations in the new translation system, so that the translations are assigned the
translation status [Ext.] Modified. You can then check the quality of the translations
manually. However, if you import a proposal pool from a reference system whose
terminology is correct, translations that were created in your new translation
systems legacy or original system will probably be missing. The advantage though
is that you can be sure the imported proposals are correct.
If some but not all of the proposal pool is incorrect or of dubious quality, you can use
the selection criteria for exports and/or imports to ensure that low-quality parts of the
proposal pool are excluded from the transport, while the correct parts of the
proposal pool are transported. For example, if translations belonging to the domain
Finances are the only ones that are incorrect in a legacy system, you can transport
the proposal pool for all other domains in the system.
You can also import proposal pools from several source systems into a target system. This could
be necessary if, for example, you need to set up a new banking system that also contains a
number of Basis functions. If the Basis functions and banking functions have been translated in
different translation systems, you need to set up the new banking system by importing the
proposal pools from the Basis and banking systems.
In this situation, it is possible for the same source text to have different translations in the two
translation systems. If both source texts have been defined as a system standard [Ext.] or
application standard [Ext.] for the same domain, and if the system standards or application
standards have the same quality status, then a conflict occurs. The system then inserts both
terms at the same level and with the same quality status into the proposal pool.
640

SAP Online Help
28.08.2003
Example
You are setting up a new banking system for which you need proposal pools from the Basis and
legacy banking systems. In the Basis system, the term Client has been translated into German
as Mandant and defined as a system standard with quality status S. In the banking system, the
term has been translated as Kunde and also defined as a system standard with quality status S.
If you import both proposal pools into the new banking system, the resulting proposal pool will
contain two German translations of the English source text Client, namely Mandant and Kunde.
Both are system standards with quality status S.
If the proposal pool contains two proposals at the same level with the same quality
status, the best proposal and automatic distribution are turned into a lottery for the
source text in question because either of the coexistent proposals could be
selected. You can usually avoid this situation by always defining proposals as
application standards, and then turning them into system standards only after you
are absolutely sure that the translation is unique.
Activities
The proposal pool transport consists of the following steps:
...
1. Export [Page 14] the proposal pool(s) from the source system(s)
2. Import [Page 18] the proposal pool(s) into the target system
640

SAP Online Help
28.08.2003
Exporting the Proposal Pool

Use
You can only transport proposal pools [Page 11] if the proposal pool(s) has/have already been
exported from the source system(s). You can export the entire proposal pool [Ext.] or just part of
the proposal pool.
When exporting or importing a proposal pool, you can set parameters to restrict the exported
and/or imported data. For example, if a proposal pool already exists in the target system, or if you
need to import proposal pools from several systems into the target system, you can avoid
conflicts when the data is imported by setting appropriate export and/or import parameters. Such
conflicts can arise if the same source text has different translations in different proposal pools,
and these various translations all exist at the same level (that is, as a system standard [Ext.] or
application standard [Ext.] for the same domain) and with the same quality status [Ext.]. You can
export the following parts of a proposal pool individually or in combination with each other:
Source language
Target language
Domain type
Domain
The domain is the equivalent of the highest component level of the application
component hierarchy in earlier releases of the R/3 environment.
Quality status
Date of last change
Translator who last changed a translation
Export of proposals only
Export of abbreviations only
Export of exceptions only
For examples of proposal pool exports, see the examples below.
You do not have to import the exported proposal pool file in its entirety. The import parameters
enable you to import just parts of the export file. You should therefore ask yourself whether you
want to import the export file into just one other system, or whether you want to import the export
file into more than one system. The latter scenario can arise if a translation system is used as the
basis of many other translation systems, or if its terminology is considered the standard on which
terminology in other translation systems is based.
If you only want to import the export file into one other translation system, you are advised to set
the export parameters so that they meet as many of the target systems requirements as
possible. This reduces the size of the export file, and accelerates the transport process. However,
if you intend to import the export file into numerous translation systems, you are advised to
perform a complete export and then use the import parameters to ensure that only relevant data
is imported into each target translation system.

Prerequisites
A source system exists with a proposal pool containing proposals that are suitable for the target
system.
You are authorized to start reports in transaction SE38 and write export files to a directory. This
directory could be the source systems transport directory. However, it could also be any other
directory on a server or computer that the source system can access.
Procedure
...
1. In the source system, call up transaction SE38.

2. Start report RS_TRANSLATION_EXPORT_PP.
3. Enter the source language in the S_LANG field, and the target language in the T_LANG
field. Each of these entries consists of four characters.
You can also use the input help function to display a list of available source and target
languages.
4. Specify the name of the export directory under DIRECTRY, and the name of the export file
under FILENAME.
You are advised to enter a meaningful name for the export file. You could use the following
naming convention:
TRM<source language ID><target language ID>.<system ID>
For example, TRMDE.BA1 indicates that this export file was created to export the proposal
pool (translation memory = TRM) with source language German and target language
English from translation system Banken1. The export file does not have a preset file name
extension.
5. Enter the name of the domain under DOMATYP.
The domain type for ABAP applications is R. The domain type for non-ABAP applications is
X. If you want to export proposals irrespective of the domain type, enter *.
6. If you want to export proposals that belong to a specific domain, enter the name of the
domain in the DOMANAM field. For example, BC for proposals from the Basis domain. If
you want to export proposals from all domains, enter * in the field.
If you want to export proposals from several domains, start a separate export for
each domain.
7. Enter the numerical value of the quality status as of which proposals are exported in the
MIN_STAT field.
8. If you only want to export proposals created by a specific translator, enter this translators
user name in the L_NAME field. If you want to export proposals created by all translators,
enter *.
If you want to export proposals created by several translators, start a separate

export for each translator.
9. Enter the last change date as of which proposals are exported in the L_DATE1 field. Enter
the last change date up to which proposals are exported in the L_DATE2 field.
640
15
SAP Online Help
28.08.2003
10. To export proposals, select the FL_PP field. If you do not want to export proposals, leave
the field blank.
11. If you want to export abbreviations [Ext.], select the FL_PPA field. If you do not want to
export abbreviations, leave the field blank.
12. The FL_PPX field enables you to export exceptions [Ext.]. If you do not want to export
exceptions, leave the field blank.
For example, if you only want to export abbreviations, just select the FL_PPA field.
If you want to export abbreviations and proposals, select the FL_PP and FL_PPA
fields.
13. To start the export as a background job, select the BATCH field.
If you execute the report online, the export job could quickly terminate. This depends on
the timeout setting for online processes in your system. You are therefore advised to
schedule these export jobs as background processes.
14. If necessary, repeat the procedure for each additional domain to be exported, or for each
additional translator whose proposals need to be exported. If you require proposal pools
from several source systems, follow the same procedure in the other source systems.
Result
The system creates an export file containing proposals that satisfy the criteria you entered.
Example
Complete Export 1
To translate version 2 of your bank software, you want to set up a new translation system called
Banken2 for English, German, French, and Spanish. Version 1 of this software has been
translated into English and German in translation system Banken1 since January 01, 2001. The
domains in the source and target text systems all originate from the ABAP area and are virtually
identical. You do not want to make any terminology changes.
You export the entire proposal pool for German and English from translation system Banken1

Complete Export 2
Basic domains such as the ABAP domains Basis (BC), Financial Accounting (FI), and Payroll
(PY) have been translated since January 01, 2001 in translation system Standard1. You assume
that some of these domains are needed as a basis for translation in many other areas, such as a
banking system for asset/liability management and another system for loans. You therefore run a
complete export from the Standard1 system, but only import proposals into other translation
systems for the domains that exist in both the source and target translation systems. You enter
the export settings as described under Complete Export 1.
Partial Export
You need to set up a new banking translation system called Banken2. It will be used to translate
banking-specific texts from the ABAP domain Bank Components (IS-B), and texts from the
ABAP domain Basis (BC), into English and German. The banking-specific texts have been
translated into German and English in translation system Banken1 since January 01, 2002. The
Basis texts have been translated into German, English, French, and Italian in translation system
Standard1 since January 01, 2001. Translation system Standard1 is also used to translate texts
from the ABAP domains Financial Accounting (FI), Payroll (PY), and Logistics (LO). However,
you do not need these domains in translation system Banken2. A number of inexperienced
translators have recently translated into German in translation system Standard1 and you have
not had time to check the quality of these translators work. You are satisfied with the quality of
the English translations.
You run a complete export for German and English from translation system Banken1. You do
this by following the instructions under Complete Export 1.
You run a partial export from translation system Standard1 using the following parameters:

Importing the Proposal Pool

Use
If you import proposal pools [Ext.] into a translation system, translations that have been written
before in other translation systems are made available in this translation system to support the
translation of different objects. This enables you to access best proposals [Ext.] created in other
translation systems, which means you do not need to retranslate source texts that have already
been translated in other systems. However, there is also a danger of you transporting [Page 11]
the wrong translations from one translation system to another, or translations whose terminology
is incorrect. This is particularly likely to happen if translations are written for specific domains, but
defined in the proposal pool as system standards instead of application standards. The same
applies if there is a large gap between the release levels of both systems, such as if the source
system is on Release 4.6B but the target system is on Release 6.40. It is safe to assume in such
cases that major terminology changes have occurred between the two releases. To avoid such
situations, use the following criteria to restrict the data that is imported from the export file:
Source language
Target language
Domain type
Domain
The domain is the equivalent of the highest component level of the application
component hierarchy in earlier releases of the R/3 environment.
Quality status
Export of proposals only
Export of abbreviations only
Export of exceptions only
If you import proposal pools from several source systems, and if different proposals
exist in these proposal pools for the same source text, and if these various
proposals are all assigned to the same level (system standard, application standard)
and have the same quality status, then the proposals are all inserted at the same
level and with the same quality status into the target systems proposal pool. This
turns the best proposal and automatic distribution into a lottery for this source text
because any of the coexistent proposals could be selected.
Prerequisites
The proposal pool has been exported [Page 14] from at least one suitable source system.
You are authorized to run reports using transaction SE38. The target system can access the
directory that contains the files to be imported.

Procedure
...
1. In the target system, call up transaction SE38.

2. Start report RS_TRANSLATION_IMPORT_PP.
3. Enter the source language in the S_LANG field, and the target language in the T_LANG
field. Each of these entries consists of four characters.
4. Enter the name of the directory that contains the proposal pool export file to be imported
under DIRECTRY. Specify the name of the export file under FILENAME.
5. Enter the name of the domain under DOMATYP.
The domain type for ABAP applications is R. The domain type for non-ABAP applications is
X. If you want to import proposals irrespective of the domain type, enter *.
6. If you want to import proposals that belong to a specific domain, enter the name of the
domain in the DOMANAM field. For example, BC for proposals from the Basis domain. If
you want to import proposals from all domains included in the export file, enter * in the field.
If you do not want to import proposals that belong to domains included in the
proposal pool export file, you must start a separate import for each domain to be
imported.
7. Enter the numerical value of the quality status as of which proposals are imported in the
MIN_STAT field.
8. To import proposals, select the FL_PP field. If you do not want to import proposals, leave
the field blank.
9. If you want to import abbreviations [Ext.], select the FL_PPA field. If you do not want to
import abbreviations, leave the field blank.
10. The FL_PPX field enables you to import exceptions [Ext.]. If you do not want to import
exceptions, leave the field blank.
For example, if you only want to import abbreviations, just select the FL_PPA field.
If you want to import abbreviations and proposals, select the FL_PP and FL_PPA
fields.
11. To start the import as a background job, select the BATCH field.
12. If necessary, repeat this procedure for each additional domain to be imported. If you
require proposal pools from several source systems, follow the same procedure for each
export file.
The more proposal pools you import into your target system from different source
systems, the greater the risk of conflicts occurring.
Result
The system writes proposals from the export files into the target systems proposal pool in
accordance with the criteria you selected.

You need to set up a new banking translation system called Banken2. It will be used to translate
banking-specific texts from the ABAP domain Bank Components (IS-B), and texts from the
ABAP domain Basis (BC), into English and German. The banking-specific texts have been
translated into German and English in translation system Banken1 since January 01, 2002. The
Basis texts have been translated into German, English, French, and Italian in translation system
Standard1 since January 01, 2001. Translation system Standard1 is also used to translate texts
from the ABAP domains Financial Accounting (FI), Payroll (PY), and Logistics (LO). However,
you do not need these domains in translation system Banken2. A number of inexperienced
translators have recently translated into German in translation system Standard1 and you have
not had time to check the quality of these translators work. You are satisfied with the quality of
the English translations. The proposal pools in translation systems Banken1 and Standard1
have already been exported in their entirety.
You import the complete proposal pool from translation system Banken1, as described under

Setting Up the Target Language

Use
Before the start of productive translation, you need to set up the target language (the language
into which you will translate). It is not possible to perform any of the subsequent activities in the
translation environment (defining the secondary language status, translation client, translation
graphs, translators, and package assignment) until you have created the target language.
Prerequisites
The target language into which you will translate has been defined as a language in the
translation system. For more information, see Preparing a System for Translation [Page 7].
Your user profile must contain authorization object S_ADMI_FCD with value TRNL in the
field System Administration Function.
Your translator profile [Page 39] must contain authorization A1 (Language attributes
administration) with value 1.
Procedure
...
1. Call up transaction SLWA.

2. Under the tab title Target language, select the desired target language. You can choose F4
on this field and then select a target language from the dialog box that appears.
3. Choose Create language.
The system displays a dialog box asking if you want to create this target language.
4. Choose Yes.
5. Repeat this procedure for all other languages into which you want to translate.
Result
The system creates your language as a target language. You can now continue to set up the
translation environment.

Secondary Language Status

Use
The secondary language status controls what type of texts appear in the worklists and the
statistics, according to their status. This is particularly important when the source language of an
object you are translating is actually not the original language of the object, in other words it is a
translation. There are four possible attributes which you can select for each target language.
Integration
The secondary language status is defined in transaction SLWA for each target language
when a translation is set up.
These settings are used in the worklists and evaluated by the translation scheduler in
transaction SLWB during the evaluation run.
You can also display the translation statistics according to the secondary language status
in transaction SLLS.
Features
The settings made in this function allow worklists to be generated for the respective objects in
transaction SE63. If the relevant statuses are not set to Translate, it will not be possible to call a
worklist for the respective objects in SE63.
For example, if status 1 is set, the translator will be able to call a worklist of those objects in which
the source language has been evaluated and the secondary language has been evaluated.
The statuses have the following meanings and relate to objects, not individual text lines:
Status 1: Source text is "correctly" translated, and the objects have been evaluated in the
runs.
Status 2: Source text is "correctly" translated, but no evaluation has yet taken place.
Status 3: Source text is not "correctly" translated, for example, contains modified texts that
have not yet been translated, but the target language needs to translate.
Status 4: Source text is not in the same system. The status of the source text is unknown.

Procedure
...

2. Select your target language under the tab title Target language.
3. Choose the tab title Attributes.
This screen contains a table containing the secondary language statuses.
4. Select the statuses that you want to translate.
We recommend that you select all four statuses. If, however, your target language will be
translating from a source language that is itself a translation, you can keep status 3 hidden
until a few weeks before the translation deadline. This ensures that languages that use a
translation as a source language, do not translate the same object multiple times (every
time the source text (translation) changes), but instead wait until such objects are
completely available in the source language.
5. Choose Translate in the menu bar.
If you want to hide a status, in other words, not translate objects with this status, select the
status and choose Hide in the menu bar.
Result
The system changes the text under Status accordingly.

Adding the Translation Client

Use
Before the start of productive translation, you need to create the translation clients in the
translation system.
You can only create a client. You cannot delete a client once it has been set up.
Prerequisites
The target language for which you wish to assign packages has been created in the
system. For more information, see Setting Up the Target Language [Page 23].
You should make sure that all client-specific objects, which are relevant for translation, are
available in the client in which you want to translate.
Procedure
...

3. Choose the tab title Attributes.
4. Choose Add client.
The Translation Clients screen appears.
5. Enter the translation client in the field Client
6. Choose Save.
7. Repeat this procedure if you need to define additional translation clients for this target
language.
8. Repeat this procedure for all target languages into which you want to translate.
Result
The system displays the translation client you have added in the table Translation clients.
You can now translate within this client and it is possible for evaluations to run in this client.

Translation Graphs
Use
The purpose of the translation graphs is to allow translation of multilingual development in a
translation system.
The graphs are language-based, not package-based (except for the Exception Packages [Page
29]).
Before the start of productive translation, you need to define the translation graphs for your
translation language.
Integration
The worklists that are generated in the translation system are based on the entries made in this
function.
Prerequisites
Languages that are entered as source languages in this function must be set up as a translation
language in the translation system.
Features
Using this function, you can define the source and target languages for all original languages in
which development has taken place.
This means that you can translate any original language by defining the correct source language,
and that you will be able to translate all objects with an original language that is not your source
language (for example DE EN JA. or PT EN JA).
You can display the graph that you have defined in the form of a hierarchy tree structure.
In this structure:
Red means that the language you have entered is inactive. In this system, translation does
not take place into this language, so that you cannot translate into this language in the
system.
Green means that translation takes place into this language in this system. The source
language is accepted as such.
Yellow means that the language is translated, but the source language is not translated in
this system.
A language transport is required from the respective system.
Activities
This action is performed by language coordinators. The language coordinator performs this
action only once, before the start of productive translation.
The system ADMINISTRATOR must decide which languages to enter here.

Maintaining the Translation Graphs

Prerequisites
Procedure
...

3. Choose the tab title Graphs.
The system displays a table containing the translation graphs.
4. For each Original language containing objects that have to be ultimately translated in your
translation system, enter the Source language from which you will actually translate and
press Copy in the menu bar.
The system automatically displays the Independent languages and the Dependent
languages in this table.
If a language remains in red in this table, it means that the language has not been
set up for translation in this system. You cannot translate from this language. You
must fetch the texts from a language import.
Result
Example:
Original language German is translated into English, French and Italian. English is then used as
the source language for Korean.
Choose English as the target language.
Where German is the original language, define German as the source language, and press Copy
in the menu bar.
Now do the same for Italian and French.
Choose Korean as the target language.
Where German is the original language, define English as the source language and press Copy
in the menu bar.
You can now translate German to English and English to Korean.
To see the graph as a hierarchical tree structure, press Graph in the Translation Environment
Graphs screen. The system shows the structure of the translation sequence you have defined.
If your language is shown in yellow, this means that the source language is not translated in this
system, and that you need a language transport from the respective system in order to translate
the language. In this case, the source language is shown in red, and the translation language is
shown in yellow.

Exception Packages
Use
You can define translation of multilingual development in a translation system for certain
packages, in the same way as for languages, as described under Translation Graphs [Page 27].
Before the start of productive translation, you need to define the exception packages for your
translation language.
Exception packages either do not need to be translated into a particular language or only need to
be translated into certain languages. For example:
A package which is developed in Spanish, and only needs to be translated into English
A package which is only relevant for Western Europe, and therefore does not need to be
translated into Eastern European or Asian languages.
Integration
The exception packages work according to exactly the same principles as the translation graphs.
For more information, see Translation Graphs [Page 27].
Any settings you make here control which packages appear in the worklists for each language.
For example if your translation system is set up for French, Spanish and English, and you define
an exception package for translation into French only, then this package will not be included in
the worklists and statistics for Spanish and English.

Object Groups and Object Types for Translation

Definition
An object group is a collection of object types of a similar translation priority, such as A_S3
(ABAP texts) or A_S4 (Repository texts). Object groups enable you to define the scope of
translation for each target language. For example, you can define that a "major" language (such
as English) translates all object types, and a "minor" language (such as Korean) only translates
selected short text object groups.
Use
After you have set up a target language [Page 23] in transaction SLWA, you need to activate
object groups for translation into this language. You can only activate entire object groups, not
individual object types.
The default status of an object group is Locked. If you want this object group (and all object types
contained in it) to be translated into this target language, you need to set the status to Translated.
Structure
You can find out the object groups and object types available for translation in transaction SLWA,
by choosing Object Groups Details.
Integration
Once you activate an object group for a target language, all the object types contained in this
object group appear in the worklists and statistics for this language, after an evaluation [Page 84]
has run. If an object group is locked for a target language, the object types in this object group do
not appear in the worklists and statistics. If all object groups have status Locked for a specific
target language, then no evaluation takes place for this language.
If you decide at a later stage to exclude a language from the translation process, you can set the
status of all object groups to Locked for this language. This ensures that the system excludes this
target language from all future evaluations.
To remove objects of a specific object group from existing worklists, you need to set the status of
this object group to Locked, and then schedule an evaluation with deletion. For more information,
see Creating an Evaluation Run [Page 87].

Translator Profiles
Use
Translator profiles are groups of individual authorizations that determine which activities can be
performed by translators and coordinators in the translation system, and which cannot. For
example, you can create a profile that enables translators to change all proposals in the proposal
pool, and another profile that enables coordinators to assign and lock packages.
The individual authorizations that are available are determined by the roles assigned to the end
users in the translation system. The system administrator assigns roles to end users using
transaction SU01 [Ext.]. The translator profiles in transaction SLWA facilitate fine-tuned control of
authorizations.
There are various values for each authorization that determine the authorizations exact meaning.

Working with the Information Center

Use
The Information function in transaction SLWA provides you with a global overview of all the data
maintained in the translation environment (transaction SLWA). This function enables you to
answer questions such as the following:
For which target languages is user SMITH entered as a translator/coordinator?
Which translators have profile XL (Superuser for individual languages) assigned to them?
Which translator profiles allow translators/coordinators to lock packages globally?
Which target languages translate object group B_L1 (IMG)?
Integration
The Information function contains all the data maintained in the translation environment
(transaction SLWA) and information on all runs that have taken place in the translation planner
(transaction SLWB).
You can only use the Information Center for display purposes. It is not possible to maintain the
translation environment via the Information function.
Prerequisites
Before you can analyze data in the Information Center, the translation environment must be set
up for at least one target language, and at least one evaluation run.
Features
The table below shows you the areas of the translation system that you can analyze in the
Information Center. You can display some areas according to several perspectives. For example,
you can display Translators in the following ways:
All translators in the system are sorted according to the target language for which they
were created.
All translators in the system listed alphabetically, along with the language for which they
were created, and their translator profile. You can use this option to find users who are
translators/coordinators for multiple languages.
All translators in the system are sorted according to their translator profile. You can use this
option to find out which translators have a specific profile.
You can use the icons Plus and Minus to switch between display perspective.

Package Assignment
Purpose
To enable translation of a package, you need to assign it to a translator in the system.
You should only assign the packages that are relevant for translation, before the start of
productive translation and before worklists are created.
You can prevent unnecessary translation by locking the packages that are not relevant for
translation.
You can lock packages for one specific target language, or you can lock it globally (for all target
languages in the system).
The default status of a package is Open. You can leave packages as Open until you are certain
whether to assign or lock them.
Prerequisites
In order to be able to assign and lock packages, your user profile must contain authorization
object S_ADMI_FCD with value TRNL in the field System administration function.
You also need the following authorizations in your translator profile [Page 39]:

Working with the Translation Planner

The Translation Planner enables you to create worklists of objects that are relevant for your
translation project. You do this by running an evaluation. Translators can then call up their part of
the worklist (on the basis of the packages assigned to them) and translate the objects quickly and
efficiently. The evaluation also produces translation statistics which translators and coordinators
can use to monitor their personal/overall progress during the translation project.
This table gives you a brief outline of the three main steps that you need to carry out to produce
worklists in the Translation Planner.
Initial Run
An initial run resets all temporary tables used within the translation environment.
You only need to schedule an initial run once, at the start of your translation
project, and before you create an object list and run an evaluation. For more
information, see Scheduling an Initial Run [Page 77].
Object List
Run
After you have executed the initial run, you create an object list, which should
contain all the objects that are relevant for your translation project. You need to
create a new object list each time new, translation-relevant objects are
transported to / created in the translation system.
You can create object lists according to the following criteria:
A specific set of object types and packages
All object types and packages (complete system)
A specific transport request
A generic set of transport requests
For more information, see Object Lists [Page 80].

Evaluation
Run
Once an up-to-date object list is available, you then need to evaluate it. The
evaluation run analyzes the objects in the object lists. The evaluation run results
in language-specific worklists and worklist statistics for all target languages.
You can schedule the evaluation to run directly after the creation of the object list,
or you can choose to run the evaluation separately, once the object list is created.
You can run an evaluation in a variety of ways:
Without deletion: the evaluation run simply updates the previous worklists in
the system
With deletion: the evaluation run firstly deletes all previous worklists and
creates a new worklist on the basis of the new object list that it evaluates.
With automatic distribution: flagged/unique/best proposals (depending on the

setting made in transaction STMA) are distributed in new and modified texts
for the object types defined in transaction SLWA

Defining Priorities and Default Servers

Use
The Settings II tab enables you to define the following for each language that is created as a
target language in transaction SLWA:
Priority: this controls the sequence in which the individual jobs per target language run
during the evaluation. An evaluation cannot run if these priorities are not defined.
Server: you can define a default background server for each language, so that the
evaluation jobs for this target language always run on this server. If your translation system
has multiple servers, you can use this function to distribute the individual background jobs,
of which the evaluation consists, evenly over several servers.
Prerequisites
Before you can define the priorities and servers for a language, you need to create it as a target
language first in transaction SLWA. For more information, see Setting Up the Target Language
[Page 23].
Procedure
...
1. Call up transaction SLWB

2. Choose the tab title Settings II.
3. Select a target language from the table and choose Change priority.
4. Select one of the seven priorities (they range from Extremely high to Extremely low).
5. If you want to define the default background server for a language, select a target language
and choose Change server.
6. Select one of the servers from the dialog box that appears.
7. Repeat this procedure for all target languages displayed in this table.
Result
The system displays the priorities and the servers you maintained in the Settings II screen for
each language.
The system takes the priorities into account when the evaluation program runs. The evaluation
jobs run first for the target language(s) with the priority Extremely high, then for the languages
with the priority Very high, and so on.
If you defined default servers, the evaluation jobs for a specific target language run on the server
you defined here.

Object Lists
Use
The Object lists tab in transaction SLWB enables you to create and manage object lists in the
Translation Planner.
An object list should contain all objects relevant for translation, and you can create object lists
according to a variety of criteria.
Integration
The evaluations use the language-dependent object lists as the basis for creating the languagedependent translation worklists.
You need to create a fresh object list every time new objects or corrections are imported into the
system. You can then run a new evaluation to analyze the objects in this object list and thus
update the worklists.
Prerequisites
You need to successfully execute an initial run before you create an object list. For more
Features
The object list creation program scans the system for translation-relevant entries, in accordance
with the criteria you specify (which packages, object types, transport requests should be
scanned). This determines the objects and texts that appear in the worklists.
An object can only appear in one object list. For example, if a specific object matches the criteria
of two object lists in the system, the last object list to be created will contain the object.
On the left side of the Object lists tab, the system contains a table of all object lists available in
the system, along with the following information on each object list:
Run number of the object list (this is assigned by the system when you create an object
list)
Number of objects contained in the object list
Description of the object list
Date and time of the object list run

Evaluations
Use
The Evaluations function in transaction SLWB enables you to create and monitor evaluation runs
in the Translation Planner.
Integration
An evaluation run performs the following activities:
Scans all objects in a specific object list [Page 80] for each target language, according to
the object groups [Page 32] defined per target language
Calculates the translation status [Ext.] of each line of each object per target language
Creates / updates the worklists [Ext.] and statistics [Ext.] accordingly for all users and
target languages set up in the system
Prerequisites
Before you can create an evaluation, you need to set up the translation environment. See Setting
Up the Translation Environment [Page 22].
You can only run an evaluation if an object list already exists. See Creating Object Lists [Page
82].
Features
You can schedule the evaluation to run directly after the creation of the object list, or you can
choose to run the evaluation separately, once the object list is created.
You can run an evaluation in a variety of ways:
Without deletion: the evaluation run simply updates any existing worklists in the system, by
adding new objects and updating the status of objects in the previous worklists and
statistics.
With deletion: the evaluation run firstly deletes all existing worklists and creates a new
worklist based on the new object list that it evaluates. This means the new worklist will only
contain the objects available in the object list that you evaluate. If you decide to remove
objects from the worklist translation process (for example by locking an object group for a
specific target language), the objects in question will only disappear from the worklists if
you run the evaluation with deletion.
With automatic distribution: during the evaluation, the system performs automatic
distribution [Page 90] as follows:
For new lines with proposals whose quality status [Ext.] is equal to or higher than
the defined quality status
In object types defined for distribution
In packages that are assigned for translation.
For more information, see Automatic Distribution [Page 90].
You can use the evaluations to create more than one worklist, by assigning each evaluation a
different worklist number. This enables you to keep several projects (which have different
translation-relevant objects) separate in the same translation system.
640
84
SAP Online Help
28.08.2003
Make sure you communicate the number of the worklist(s) containing objects
relevant for translation to all parties involved in translation.
An object can only appear in one worklist. For example, if a specific object matches the criteria of
two worklists in the system, the last worklist to be created will contain the object.
Displaying Information on Evaluation Runs
On the left side of the Evaluations tab page, the system contains a table of all evaluations
available in the system, along with the following information for each target language included in
the evaluation:
Worklist number
Target language

Creating an Evaluation Run

Use
An evaluation run provides you with worklists [Ext.] and statistics [Ext.] for all target languages
defined in the system and for the objects contained in the object list [Page 80] used in the
evaluation.
Prerequisites
You can only run an evaluation if an object list already exists. For more information, see Creating
Object Lists [Page 82].
To run an evaluation with automatic distribution, you need to define the object types for
distribution in transaction SLWA. You also need to ensure that the packages in which you want
distribution to take place are assigned for translation.
See also:
Setting Object Types for Automatic Distribution [Page 91]
Procedure
...
1. Call up transaction SLWB and choose the tab title Evaluation.

2. Choose Create.
The dialog box Worklist Number and Explanatory Text appears.
3. Choose F4 on the field Object list for evaluation and select the object list that you wish to
evaluate from the dialog box that appears. The system uses this object list as the basis for
the evaluation.
4. In the field Worklist number, enter the number of the worklist that you want this evaluation
to create. The default worklist number is 1. If you do not wish to create a worklist with
worklist number 1, you can enter a different number. For example, if you have two different
translation projects in the same system.
Whatever worklist number you enter, you need to inform all parties involved
in translation of the worklist number.
5. In the Description field, enter a text for the evaluation run for reference purposes.
6. If you only want to run an evaluation for test purposes (for example, to calculate how long
an evaluation takes to run) activate Test run (do not change worklists). The system
evaluates the objects, but does not update the worklists or statistics.
7. If you want to run an evaluation without deletion, activate Write the worklists. The system
only performs inserts and updates to the worklists, based on the object list used for the
evaluation. The system does not delete any objects from the worklists and statistics.
8. If you want to run an evaluation with deletion, activate Write worklists and delete
beforehand. The system then deletes and rebuilds the worklist based on the objects in the
object list you are evaluating. The system deletes all objects from the worklists and
statistics, except those contained in the object list. Objects that are not included in the
object list will then no longer be available in the worklists.
640
87
SAP Online Help
28.08.2003
9. If you want to run an evaluation with distribution, activate Automatic distribution. The
system then runs automatic distribution [Page 90] during the evaluation.
10. To refresh the usage counters [Ext.] in the system, activate Refresh usage counters (long
runtime!). This will prolong the time it takes for the evaluation to complete, especially if your
proposal pools contain more than 10,000 entries per source and target language
combination.
11. Choose Continue. You can now schedule the evaluation run as a background job.
12. Choose Default server to ensure that the jobs for each target language run on the server
you defined in Settings II. See Defining Priorities and Default Servers [Page 79].
Result
Once the evaluation run has finished successfully, up-to-date worklists and statistics are available
for all target languages in the system.

Translation Planner: Checks

Use
The Checks function in transaction SLWB shows you whether there are any evaluations running
in the system.
If, for example, you have started a job that cannot be continued but that does not terminate in the
appropriate manner, you can see the job under Checks. You can also terminate it here, so that
you can start a new evaluation.
Normally, a job that encounters problems should either terminate or restart. If this is not the case,
you might not be able to start the job again in the normal manner.
To terminate an evaluation that has encountered problems, choose Checks in transaction SLWB.
Then select the job and choose Cancel from the application toolbar.
You can only start a new evaluation run if no jobs are listed in the Checks screen.

Automatic Distribution
Use
Automatic distribution supplies source texts with a suitable target text translation and then saves
the objects translated in this way.
Once you have set up automatic distribution, you can reduce the manual translation workload by
translating source texts via this method.
Integration
Automatic distribution inserts and saves translations as follows:
For new lines [Ext.] containing a source text with a proposal [Ext.] whose quality status is
equal to or higher than the quality status defined for distribution.
In object types defined for distribution [Page 91].
In packages assigned for translation [Page 57].
During an evaluation run [Page 84].
Prerequisites
Before automatic distribution can take place for a target language, proposals must exist in the
proposal pool for the source and target language in question. See Creating Proposals in the
Proposal Pool [Ext.].
To set up automatic distribution in a translation system, you need to perform the steps listed
under Activities.

Setting Object Types for Automatic Distribution

Use
You can use the Distribution function in transaction SLWA to define the object types in which
automatic distribution [Page 90] should take place during evaluations for each target language.
You also define the minimum quality status [Ext.] of the proposals that the system distributes. For
instance, if you choose quality status S, the system distributes proposals with quality status S and
higher (i.e. S and A). You can define different quality levels for different object types. See the
Example below.
You can then run automatic distribution when you run an evaluation [Page 84] in transaction
SLWB.
Prerequisites
To define object types for distribution, you need the following authorizations:
Your translator profile [Page 39] must contain authorization A6 (Automatic distribution
You need to perform the following two steps in transaction SLWA before you can define object
types for distribution:
Create the target language. See Setting Up the Target Language [Page 23]
Assign object groups for translation into this target language. See Defining Object Groups
for Translation [Page 32].
To ensure that automatic distribution takes place during an evaluation, you need to perform the
following activities:
Assign packages that are relevant for translation to translators. See Assigning Packages
[Page 57].
Activate the flag Automatic distribution in transaction SLWB each time you run an
evaluation. See Creating an Evaluation Run [Page 87].
For automatic distribution to work effectively, proposals must exist in the proposal pool [Ext.] with
a sufficient level of quality status. See Creating Proposals in the Proposal Pool [Ext.].

3. Choose the tab title Distribution.
The system displays all the object types in the system.
4. Select the object type(s) you require and choose Distribute.
The Distribution From Level dialog box appears.
5. Double-click the quality status of proposals that you want to distribute in the selected object
type(s). For best results, we recommend that you choose either A or S.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 as required.
Result
The quality status that you selected now appears in the Status column for the object type. In
future, the system distributes proposals with this quality status or higher in objects belonging to
this object type, as long as the Prerequisites above are satisfied.
To stop distribution, select the object type(s) and choose Do not distribute.
Example
To save translation resources, you decide to implement automatic distribution for target language
French.
For texts that appear on the user interface (object groups A_S1 to A_S4), you decide to
distribute only the highest quality proposals. You therefore define quality status A as the
minimum quality status for distribution.
For lower priority texts (object groups A_S5 and A_S6), you decide to distribute proposals
with quality status S and higher.

Worklist Management
Use
You can use the Worklist management function to view and process the worklists of translators
when technical problems arise.
You can also use this function to reset the worklists of translators who are absent or who are no
longer working on this project, so that other translators can all up the objects that these worklists
contain.
Prerequisites
Your translator profile [Page 39] must contain authorization S1 (Worklist management) with value
1.
You also need to ensure that the translator is not currently editing his/her worklist before you try
to access it. Otherwise you may not be able to perform certain activities, such as releasing
objects from the worklist.
Features
The worklist management screen is organized according to target language and translator and
gives you an overview of the worklists for all translators who have already called up a worklist in
the system and for all languages in the system.
To view the status of translators and worklists, expand the entries for the respective language.
The translator names are listed alphabetically and the worklists are displayed in one of the
following colors:
Red: This means that the translator is currently processing the objects in his/her worklist.
You have the following restrictions:
You cannot fetch any additional objects
You cannot remove any objects from the worklist
Yellow: This means that the translator has called up a worklist and this worklist contains
objects for processing. However, the translator is not currently processing the objects in it.
You can double-click this worklist to call it up and work in the same way as the translator.
Green: This means that the translator does not currently have a worklist. In other words the
translator has either not yet called up a worklist, or has finished processing the objects in
the worklist and has released them. You can, however, still call up this "empty" worklist and
call up objects from packages assigned to this translator.
Activities
In transaction SE63, choose Worklist Worklist management. The list of translators' worklists
appears, sorted according to target language.
Expand the node of the target language you require and then double-click the user name of the
translator whose worklist you wish to process. The translator's current worklist appears. If the
translator is currently working in this worklist, you receive a warning message.
To access the worklist of a specific translator, simply pace your cursor on the user name of the
translator and choose Edit Choose. You can now perform the following activities:

Transport Recording
Purpose
Transport Recording enables you to collect translations for a specific target language in a
transport request. You can then use this transport request to transport the translations to other
systems.
This means you can provide test and productive systems with all English translations created this
week, for instance. You can thus avoid having to perform language transports for the whole
system or a set of packages, for example.
Integration
Transport Recording enables you to create transport requests per target language. You can then
run a program to collect translations saved in transaction SE63 [Ext.] over a specific date range.
The system writes these translations to the transport request that you specify.
You can manage transport requests created in Transport Recording in exactly the same way as
standard transport requests. For more information, see Transport Organizer (BC-CTS-ORG)
[Ext.].
Features
When you collect objects in a Transport Recording request, the system writes a detailed log,
listing any translations that could not be written to the request.
The transport requests in Transport Recording are filled with LANG objects. They do not contain
the original development objects. For instance, the translation of message SKTY 009 is recorded
as follows:
LANG MESS SKTY009
This means that you do not harm development objects when you transport translations using
Transport Recording requests.
Translations of the following two object types are recorded as R3TR TABU entries in
Transport Recording requests:
Hierarchy node texts (SHI3)
Extensions of a hierarchy (SHI5)

Creating Requests in Transport Recording

Use
Before you can start recording translations, you need to create a transport request in Transport
Recording. You can then fill this request with the translations saved in transaction SE63 [Ext.] for
a specific date range and target language.
Prerequisites
To use Transport Recording, your user profile must include authorization object S_TRANSLAT
with activity A8 for the target language(s) you want to record.
You also require sufficient authorization for creating transport requests. The default request type
in Transport Recording is Transport of Copies. To create a transport of copies, you require
authorization object S_TRANSPRT with activity 01 (Create) for request type TRAN (Transport of
Copies).
Procedure
In t...
1. In transaction SE38, execute program RS_LXE_RECORD_TORDER directly (choose F8).

The screen LXE Collect Translations in Transport Request appears.
2. Choose the
icon (Create Transport Request).
The Create Transport Request dialog box appears.

3. If a Transport Recording request already exists for this target language, a message
appears in the status bar to inform you. You can display existing Transport Recording
requests from this dialog box as follows:
Choose the
icon to display transport requests for the current target language.
Choose the
icon to display transport requests for all target languages.
4. Make the following entries in this dialog box:

Client
This field already contains the client in which you are currently logged
on. You cannot change this field.
Language
Enter the target language of translations to be recorded in this

transport request. The default language is your logon language. To
change the contents of this field, choose F4 and select a language
from that list that appears.
Request Type
The default request type is Transport of Copies. This ensures that any
transport requests that are released unintentionally are not
automatically imported into other systems.
You can also choose Consolidation transport. This ensures that, when
it is released, this request is automatically imported into target
systems on the same transport route.
Target System
This entry is not obligatory. You can enter any target system.
However, when you release the transport request, you must enter the
correct target system.
