Adobe form language translation

Hi All,
In Adobe form, I found two issues while translating English form to Korean.
1. Bold property is not working in print output.
2. When I am trying to fax, the Korean form fax is not coming.
Please kindly advise.
Thanks,
Anu

Hi Anu,
You need to check your (installed/used) fonts. Usually for bold, italic, etc a specific font is used. Sometimes they are not available, e.g. in cases when a word in bold doesn't mean something in a language.
Please note that it might be on your printer that the font is missing and consequently substituted by the regular font, n the case the preview PDF would be just fine but the actual print output not.
Cheers,
Juergen

Language Translations of Adobe Forms

Hi,
My question is regarding language translations in Adobe Form. I have translated the adobe form in various languages, now I want to check in how many languages I already translated? Is there any way by which I can check the translations??
Thanks & Regards
Rafi

HI friend,
Just try this transaction SE63.
In that There are menu called GOTO and WORKLIST.
Check the options in those two. I don't have sufficient authorization to check the things. I think it will provide you the required information.
Please revert back me if you find a solution or if i am wrong. SO that i will try some other option.
Thanks,

Interactive Adobe Form's Language Translation

Hi all,
we activated the MSS 60.1 version on the SAP NetWeaver 2004 Enterprise Portal.
We need to activate a link on EP that refers to PCR application. From this link we want to call all the Interactive Adobe Forms associated to the ISR standard scenarios.
Our problem is this: all the standard Adobe Forms are generated in german language. How can we generate them in italian language?
Thanks a lot to all.

Adobe Form translation in to different languages

Hi All,
Can you please guide me through the procedure/process of "how to translate Adobe forms in to a different languages".
Thanks.

There are two methods to translate any Adobe form.
First method :
login to the target language
Go to SFP --> enter the form name
Click on Change
Click on Goto -> translation
Original language will be autopopulated. Enter the target language in which you want the texts to be translated into., eg FR (French) and enter
You will see the tree for translation objects. Expand the package name and then PDFB. Under PDFB you will find your form name --> Double Click.
A translation editor will open up.
Navigate to Object Menu --> Copy Source text.
The entire XML for the form will be copied in the target language window with all static text literals highlighted in blue.
Replace the english text (blue text) with the French text ( target language text) and save.
Thats all. The form will be now translated, run the application and provide the target language in the URLis the target language.. sap-language=FR
Also there is Second method.:
1)You have to create the form in target language and attach in webdynpro layout as your original language
2)In the context of the view define two new attributes (VISIBILE and VISIBILE_FR ) with type as "WDUI_VISIBILITY"
3 )Now in webdynpro layout attach this form same as your English form and bind the visible property of interactive forms( both EN and FR form) with the VISIBILE and VISIBILE_FR attributes respectively.
4) Now through any initial method you can set the value of VISIBILE =u2019 02 u2018and VISIBILE_FR =u2019 01u2019 for English form to visible and vice versa for Fr form
Choose the convenient option .

Adobe form translation into other language

Hello Experts,
i have a requirement of printing of adobe form in multiple languages i.e english and french or english and chinese depending on the selection. i have developed my form in 'English'. Now, how to translate the form in other language? Whats the process of doing that..
Can you please explain step by step
Regards
Shekhar

Did you use transaction SFP to develp your form in English? If so, go to that transaction and enter your form name and select change. From there, you can select from the menu GOTO --> TRANSLATION. You will be prompted for the lanugage to translate from (Original) and the Target. From here, you will need to select 'Forms and Styles' and double-click the PDFA line. Now you will see you boxes, one with the English (on top) and the bottom half you can begin your translations to the other language.
Just a note, it is best to perfrom this action while logged in under the language you want to translate to. We found issues with special scharacters being saved incorrectly.

Best practice in working with Adobe forms in multiple languages

We have to provide access to some Adobe Interactive Forms in both English and French, some of them from Web Dynpro application(s), some of them as callable objects from Guided Procedures.
1- We know for sure that we can have two copies of each form, one in English and one in French but that implies duplicating the FormCalc and Javascript code behind.
2- Another way if to modify in javascript all labels, captions using some javascript i.e. If lang = "E" then "My label" else "Mon étiquette" . It would work but it is not very efficient.
Is someone here has experience with this type of situation and would be willing to share his experience with me?
Thanks in advance,

Hi Benoit,
For Adobe Forms in multiple language you can use include text solution also . Within this solution you need to add a language parameter in your interface and then retrieve the include text in the language value ( not current language ) . Personnaly i used a lot this solution with Smartforms text .
Also i used dictionnary text for text linked with data dictionnary element . For this there is standard function module in SAP .
Anothers way is in the SFP editor you can translate your form as in SAPSCRIPT .
Hope this help you
Regard.
PS : if necessary i can send you a sample form with smartform/Dictionnary text solution.

Problem with translation of Adobe forms

Hi Friends,
Right now I am working with Adobe forms.
While Translating the forms from English into Spansih I am encountering a problem.
Even though it is Translated into spanish, if I login in spanish (ES) and see the Text is stil in English.
the text is in 'TEXT' field.
Kindly, Help me in solving the problem.
Regards,
Xavier.P

When translating your form MAKE SURE YOU LOGIN TO SAP WITH THE TARGET LANAGUAGE FOR TRANSLATION!
For example, if you have an english form and want to translate it to spanish, login in spanish, go to SFP and do your translation to spanish. It should have a pop-up shown that says "original language" is English....keep it as that.
Not sure why it works this way, but it does. I would love to be able to login in English and then simply do all my other translations from there, but it doesn't work that way.

Language Conversion for Adobe form using Web Dynpro

Hi,
I want to convert the whole adobe form which have created in English to some other language using web dynpro. Is it possible.
Please help me on this.
Thanks & Regards,
Gaurav Mittal

Hi Gaurav,
Gudday.
You can very well view a single adobe form in different languages by maintaining the translations in the desired language using the path
tools->translation->select the language->translate pdf form
on selecting the language,the text will be displayed in source language ....using the menu tabs copy the source text and maintain the texts in the required language.
Hope it is clear.Please revert for any clarifications.
Thanks,

Translate the harcoded text written inside Script Editor in Adobe forms

Hi Experts,
In Adobe form, I have hardcoded a text inside the Script Editor.
Now i need to maintain translation for it in another language. Is it possible?
I have checked option Goto -> Translation. But that text is not available there.
Kindly give me some suggestions!

I know what you are trying to do and that is NOT the way to handle it. haha This is EXACTLY why I never put texts to display within my script (Javascript). The better way to do it is this.....have a hidden text element on your form. Then show/hide it using your script. Since it is PART of the actual form, you can then translate it like you do anything else on the form. Works great!
If you absolutely HAVE to do the text as a pop-up or something "off form", then there are ways to do it very similarly but takes a little more thought/work (ie. have your script read the text element's text and use that in your pop-up...again, since the text element is ON the form, you will get the correct translation.)
Hope this helps!

Adobe form translations

Hi,
I have translated adobe form from English to French, however when i execute function module by passing language as 'FR' it is still showing in English only. what could be the reason??
and also when i open the same form in DE language i don't see any layout it is almost empty, do i need to anything here.

Hi - Same EN to FR translation not working.
I am creating froms in 100 client and then testing in 200 client.
Initially I was seeing English texts when I executed in client 200 with logon language as FR.
I observed I had the below error in SE63 long text Translation screen "Omitted Objects (Could not be Converted):" with Yellow warning.
SE63 -> Long Texts -> Objname = form name -> EN to US -> EDIT -> CHange the english texts to French texts -> and save ->
Omitted Objects (Could not be Converted):" is seen and you will remain in the same screen how many times we save.
This happens when I save after making the Translations and save.
Then I implemented notes 1488663 & 1552974 Notes.( Kranthi - you may check these forms )
Sometimes now translation works and sometimes it does not.
Repeating the changing the texts to FR and saving - When luckily Translations got saved one time - I logged into FR language and displayed the form in SFP and checked the layout - all texts seen in FR . but when I executed the form from the same screen ( SFP ) - surprisingly I see english texts.
after repeated executions - Suddenly I say French texts appearing.
Then I found one Text still in english,
When I goto SE63 and change it - surprisingly now I see the same error again "Omitted Objects (Could not be Converted):".
I am not sure the note 1552974 really works removing the additional </trans-unit> - becuase I see so many of them even now.
I also tried executing a standard form from SFP in FR login language.It works fine.it displays all texts in FR.
Not sure why this is not working for Cusotm developed forms.

Adobe Form Translation error Omitted Objects (Could not be Converted)

Hi,
I am new to this forum. I have an issue with Adobe form Translation. Through SE63 (or through the form translation itself) , whenever I try to translate into any language it gives me an error " Omitted Objects (Could not be Converted)". And the translation doesnt get saved. I tested with other forms and the translation works perfectly fine. Its the problem only with this particular form. In fact any change gives error. For e.g. I copy the English the translation to the Greek or the Hungarian one, and if I delete a character and save it it gives me an error.
Please help me if you have faced similar issues have any knowledge about it.
Thanks in advance

Hi David,
Thanks for answering my query. I had installed a new patch and even that did not work. However I managed to make it work. I dont know if its the correct way but it worked for me. On furthur analyses I found out that the problem was with XML tags. This was throwing an error. Also, on looking at the translations I Observed that there were few close tags "</trans-unit> " which had no open "<trans-unit>" for them. I simply deleted the extra close tags and the translation worked fine after that.
Point to be noted is that the extra tags were not there in the original english translation. They only appeared when I tried to change the Greek or Hungarian translation and saved them.
Hope it helps anybody.
Thanks.

Message was edited by: Manish Kumar

HI Lande,
There is nothing to delete. Here is what you should do:
Following procedure applies to both symptoms:
1. Open the corresponding form in the original language in change mode in Form Builder
2. Choose the Layout tab of Form Builder to open the form layout in Adobe Designer.
3. Identify and select the concerned text element in the layout so that it will be highlighted in the hierarchy tree of the Adobe Designer
4. Go to the XML Source tab of the Adobe Designer
              The XML source shows the section of the selected form element.
     5. Go to the appropriate <exData/> element and delete the occurrence of attributes
     xft-xliff:id or xliff:rid
6. Leave the XML source tab and save the changes.
7. Activate the form.

Hello forumers,
I am now creating an adobe form (billing document) in English and I will be needing to have the same form in the Russian language. I have already followed the steps in Link:[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/8b/4f52cc3b104d0585e2f0ad354fb029/frameset.htm]
and saved the object already. My question is that when will this Russian form be displayed? when the program is run in an environment where language = 'RU'?
What if I have to display the russian form if VBRK-WAERK(currency) = 'KZT' ?
Thanks a lot.
