Hi Amit,
my Requirement:
Material is created in Windchill and then it comes to SAP through a Z BAPI, we are using 'BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA' in this Z BAPI to save the material.
I want to populate the materialdescription table in the save Bapi with the descriptions in different languages along with English. So that the MAKT table will have the description in different languages.
But the problem is, how to translate material description in some other language, is there any function module available to translate ?
Thanks and Regards,
Vaibhav

Different descriptions in different languages

Hello,
Can somebody tell me whether is is possible to have a different description when a user uses a different langauage and if so, how to set this up?
What I mean is: We will be using PeopleSoft in 4 languages (English, dutch, french, german) and we want to have our values to have a description addapted to the language.
For example a user signing in as dutch should have the account descriptions in dutch, a user signing in in french should have his descriptions in french etc.
Kind Regards,
Stijn

If this is a delivered record where you have description stored, then it should have a related language record attached (look into record properties in application designer).
when creating these accounts, you should login into peoplesoft in different languages and change the description according to the language for the same account. This will populate the related language record (you can also do this by SQLs).
If this is a custom record, then you will need to attach a related language record to this and then populate it with right values following the same approach as above.
Once the related language record is populated with the right values, you should be able to see translated values when logged in with a language other than the base language(which in a normal installation is always kept as english)

Material description for different language

Hi SAP Gurus,
Please advise how to pull material description maintained in different language ?
I need to download this material descriptions maintained in all languages for a certain type of materials of one plant.
Thanks for your help.
Regards,
Manoj

you either create a quickview by joining MARC and MAKT tables for this.
or much easier. you press F4 in a material number field.
then you go to search help W plant material.
there you erase the language from the selection pop-up and execute
in the hitlist do a right mouse click and you can directly download

Table MGEF is the primary table for hazardous material. There is no text table for it.
Field STOFT holds the description of the hazardous material.
Now issue is that as no text table is available for hazardoues material , how the description can be available into multiple langauges ? Also if the text is made available in XYZ langauge in this table on login to XYZ langauge ,then it must be also be displayed in english on login with 'EN' langauge .
Kindly help me in this regard. Also it will be great is someone can tell me how hazardoues material description is maintained in multiple langauages.
Regards,

Hi Ujjwal,
You need to maintain the region code "PT" in SPRO>LE>WM>Hazardous material>Master data-->Define region code.
Once done..relogin into system with "PT" language at login page of SAP.
Use VM01.. give material number and region code "PT"..it'll take you to next screen where you can maintain description in Portuguese.
Hope this will help.

Hi Expertsl
We have to show material description on the label. As of now the label description is displaying in English. Material description is also maintained in a language calledd 'Z1'.
So the present requirement is as below
1. If the material description exists in English language and Z1 language then the 'Z1 language' description is to be shown
2. If the material description exists in English language and not in Z1 languae then 'EN' language description is to be shown.
Please suggest on this with the code if available with you.

Cost Centre Description in Multiple Language

Hi,
Can we able to maintain Cost Center Discription in Multiple Language like GL Description ( in FS00-- Keyword/Translation).
If can, can you guide how we can do same.
Regard,
Venkat

Hi,
I understand...
As far as I'm aware, there is no such a possibility. In order to maintain the description in different languages, you will have to simply logon in different language and create a description. The other way, is to update directly the CSKT table.

OM- Positions in Different Languages

Hi,
I am having a requirement where I have to maintain the Position Description in
different Languages for about 11countries. Is there any provision in SAP to maintain different languages
Pls give your valuable Inputs
Thanks & Regards
Hemant V. Mahale

Hemant,
You can store the position in different languages for the existing field by using key borad to switch to different laguages. You can only see the Field name ( example First name not value as (hemant) if you log in in english then you can see in english) in the language you log in from SAP log in Pad. If You write Hemant In arabic then you will see in arabic even if you log in english. if you log in arabic then you will see both in arabic.
Hope you got it.

View of Description of Document in Different Language

Hi Experts,
We maintain the description of the Documents in several languages using the transaction CV01N or CV02N. But when we tried to find all the different language descriptions, we could not find any way of cusotmising.
Can anybody have come across with similar situation and can have some idea.
Thanks
SM

When searching document (CV04N) it is defined so that in "other selection criteria" section first You have to choose the search language and then type the search value for description. If the search language is e.g. EN it wont find FI description(s).

Material description - different language

Dear Experts,
We have material with both English and Spanish descriptions. When I create purchase order in English log on or Russian log on, system is picking the description based on the vendor language. It sounds like logical that purchase order is recieved by vendor and hence its picking the vendor language.
But is there any way that material description should refer the log on language and not the vendor language.
Regards,
R.S

Hi,
I am trying to understand the description for material.
But in the same context, I am facing problem with plant description which is maintained in two different languages using international version. But system is picking only one langauge in both English and Spanish.
Please help.
