Copying texts from orig. lang. to other language by program

When you make a report you have to write original texts for it. Then if you want offer
this report to users from different coutries you have to translate all texts. But some times
it is not necessary to really translate it but only to copy original texts into translated
texts (so technically the report is "translated" but actually it shows still for example EN
strings). We use it for excample just for IT programs (having only EN strings but they are
displayed in EN,DE,CS languages as well). This copying of original text is usually done by
Goto -> Translation... Selecting target language ...and there by Edit -> Copy source texts
-> All lines.
But when you have objects like DDIC structure or DDIC table, you can have your own data elements
used by the structure and each data element has long, medium, short texts and such. So the copying
of original texts can be time consuming when your structure has for instance 36 your own data elements
(i.e. with your own texts).
Is there some standard report which could do this copying of original texts to translated texts
automatically after giving a name of object which can have texts (DDIC structure, data element,
report, domain and such...)?
Hope my question is clear

I wrote a program to do exactly this a few years ago for ABAP programs.  Just use READ TEXTPOOL and INSERT TEXTPOOL.
Use READ TEXTPOOL with the source and the destination language, to ensure you don't overwrite an translations done manually.
The ABAP help on these should make it clear.
Now let me think about how it works for DBIC.  IIRC, the texts for these objects are held in some standard tables.  E.g. DD04T for data elements.  I don't know if there are function modules or BAPIs to update these.  But it seems one of the safer areas to do direct mods to standard SAP tables... if you dare.

  • Copying text from PDF files in another language

    When I try to copy text from a PDF file which is written in Greek - the minute I paste it into another document, the text cannot be recognized so comes out as a jumbled mess. How an I solve this problem??

  • Automatically copy text from "master" pdf to other pdf-files

    Hi,
    I have several different PDF files with formfields. Some information in those files are the same. For example the customer name etc.
    In stead of writing the customer name, the date, telephone number etc. in each each single file for each single project, I would like to make a "Master" page from where the information is automatically copied to the other single files.
    In Excel it is possible to link cell information from one file to another. Is it possible to do so in pdf-files too?
    I am using Acrobat 9 Pro and Lifecycle ES 8.2
    Thanks in advance.

    You can do it using JavaScript in the PDFs

  • Can't copy text from InDesign to other applications

    Hi there,
    Whenever I try to copy text from InDesign to any other applications, it simply fails. When I get to my text editor, email program, Illustrator or Photoshop, it's like the clipboard is empty.
    I'm able to copy shapes and other objects, though. I can also copy entire text boxes, but if I'm copying to Illustrator, for instance, all the lines of text are separated. It's treated as an object and is pretty useless for typical formatting needs.
    I'm on Mac OS X Mountain Lion, using InDesign CS5.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks!

    Hi all,
    Thanks for replying!
    I tried unchecking "copy PDF", and also quit the only slightly-clipboard related app I use, Quicksilver, but it didn't fix the problem.
    Does anyone have any other ideas?

  • Copying text from Oracle Applications Window to other Application windows

    Hi All,
    I am not able to copy text from oracle applications windows to my other application windows.
    Please advise.
    Thanks,
    Amit

    Check in your organization who is able to copy the text. Then from that user machine, who is able to copy text, copy identitydb.obj file and copy to your machine (overwrite the current one)
    Then clear its jcache and browser cache one time. From that point forward they can connect to both instances. This is accomplished as follows:
    1. On each Client PC, you will need the new instance 1 (TEST) version of this identitydb.obj file located C:\Program Files\Oracle\identitydb.obj (default location )
    2. Clear Jinitiator jcache : On the client PC delete all files found in c:\Program Files\oracle\jinitiator 11727 Export\jcache
    3. Clear browser cache:
    a) Netscape : Edità Preferencesà Advancedà cache and delete Memory Cache and Disk Cache
    b) Internet Explorer : Toolsà Internet Options à delete Temporary Internet Files
    For any further assistance pls. feel free to ask.

  • Copying text from CMIR (KNMT) to the Sales Order Line Item

    We need to copy text from the CMIR (KNMT) to the Sales Order Line Item with two steps in the access sequence. First to look up by the Ship to Partner Function.  If doesn't exist, then look up by Sold to Partner Function.  Have setup a new text id (ZPRN), a new access seq (9011).  The access seq has one seq =5 for KNMT, ZPRN, all languages and that saves fine.  When I set the Partner Function to be SH.  I get the following error msg:
    "The Language does not come from the partner function AG for MVKE".
    Any ideas?  This access seq does not reference MVKE. It only references KNMT.
    Thanks!

    Hi Lisa,
    Just stumbled on this post, as I am searching for something similar.
    What you are attempting to do isn't possible in config.
    This is because as standard Customer Material Info Records are not even considered for ship-to party in the sales order.
    They work for sold-to only.
    Therefore, this funny error message is SAP's way of saying, "Why are you trying to enter a partner here, because the data is determined for sold to only?"
    You can change this with development for other fields (ie, to determine delivery plant, tolerances etc at ship-to) by using
    the exit MV45AFZB with the USEREXIT_CUST_MATERIAL_READ form.
    However, even if you do this, Text Determination is still sold-to only and still doesn't behave.
    I am currently looking myself for a solution for this problem and I will let you know what I find.
    Cheers

  • Copy text from PO to SO

    Hi All,
    Is it possible to copy text from the Purchase Order to Sales Order? I checked the Tcode VOTXN i do not see any text definitions in there for PO. Also I realized the text objects are not the same for PO and SO. Can any one confirm if the text copy is possible from PO to SO please?
    I looked in SDN posts but did not find any helpful ones. Any suggestions are much appreciated.
    Thank in advance,
    Karuna.

    Hi
    Yes u can do it.
    I don't believe it's possible to link PO texts to SO texts, but perhaps it can create a routine in order to get the text from PO and copy to SO.
    Anyway if it can use the abose solution I can give you this my experience:
    In my enviroment there's an external system creates the sales order via BAPI, he problem was some time the texts weren't formatted well, so I've inserted the following lines in a user-exit USEREXIT_SAVE_DOCUMENT_PREPARE in order to format the text again:
    IF VBAK-VBELN IS INITIAL. "If sales order is being created
        SELECT SINGLE SPRAS FROM KNA1 INTO TXT_LANG
          WHERE KUNNR = VBAK-KUNNR.
        TEXT_NAME = 'XXXXXXXXXX'.
      CALL FUNCTION 'READ_TEXT'        "Read text

          REFERENCE_CHECK         = 6
          WRONG_ACCESS_TO_ARCHIVE = 7
          OTHERS                  = 8.
      IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
        EXIT.
      ENDIF.
      REFRESH TEXT_STREAM.
      LOOP AT TLINES.
        APPEND TLINES-TDLINE TO TEXT_STREAM.
      ENDLOOP.
      IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
        EXIT.
      ENDIF.
      REFRESH TLINES.
      CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_STREAM_TO_ITF_TEXT'
        TABLES
          TEXT_STREAM = TEXT_STREAM
          ITF_TEXT    = TLINES.
      CALL FUNCTION 'SAVE_TEXT' " Save text

    In this situation I've got a text transfered via BAPI and changed it, but perhaps u can read the text from PO and transfer it to SO

    Hi
    I've a big problem with adobe acrobat reader XI pro and I hope you can help me.
    The problem is; when I past copied text from some pdf books (not all of them) it past symbols only! wherever I past it! and even if I coped that text from another pdf reader (adobe pdf reader, internet browsers, ...etc.).
    This problem started to happen since yesterday when I installed adobe acrobat reader XI pro to try it before I buy it, and before that when I was using the free adobe pdf reader I was totally able to copy any text from any pdf and past it anywhere with nothing wrong.
    What can I do?
    thank you a lot.

    There is no product called Adobe Acrobat Reader Pro. There is
    - Adobe Acrobat Pro ($$)
    - Adobe Reader (free)
    Which do you have? And are you a programmer?

  • How do I copy text from one layer to  another?

    I have Googled this but not a single answer seems to work.
    I am using Photoshop CS4 on OS X 10.6.7.
    OK, so  I  have a layer that  has some text in it.  I would like to  be able to  simply copy that  text  from one layer  to  another, but this seems to  be impossible as the Edit Paste menu item is grayed out after I have copied it in to the clipboard.  I can paste it into  the SAME layer, but not into another layer.
    This is how I am trying to  do  this.
    In the layer  with the text, click on the "T" icon to  the left.
    Click on the text, in the layer that I  want to  copy. 
    I select the text (either  by  clicking and dragging or pressing Command-A).
    Next I press Command-C.
    Then I  click on the layer In the Layer Panel) where I want to  paste the text.
    Pressing Command-V is impossible because the Edit-Paste menu option is grayed out!!!!
    WHY??????
    Perhaps more importantly, HOW do I copy text  from one layer to  another?

    First thing you can simply right click on the Text Layer and choose Duplicate Layer.  But that will create a new Text Lay
    er identical to the one you have.
    To answer your question in your case....  Create the Text Layer.   Make a New Layer.  Or have the layer you want to paste into visible.
    Highlight the text layer in the Layer Palette and Ctrl+Click (Win) Cmd+Click(Mac) so that you see marching ants walking around your text.
    Edit>Copy.
    Then highlight your Layer you want to paste into and hit Edit>Paste or Cmd+V / Ctrl+V.

  • Can not copy text from AI CC or AI6 in to the file name

    I have an AI file with 80+ UPC codes that I need to separate in to individual files. Each UPC has a descriptor but when I copy the text and then try to paste it as file name it will not paste. I use this same process regularly in InDesign when I design print ads. Each print ad has a unique item number that prints with the copyright line so I simply copy and paste that information when I do the save.
    Under File Handling and Clipboard both PDF and AICB are on. I've tried this in AICC and AICS6. I also tried different files. Same issue. Any suggestions? I really don't want to have to type 80 some descriptions which are very lengthy. 

    I can not copy the text from Illustrator in to any OS X application/function (filename, Mail, Text Edit, ect). I can copy in to InDesign, Photoshop, Flash, and other other Adobe product. I can copy in to Word as well. I guess my work around will be Word.
    And the opposite is true. I can copy text from any other Adobe application to any OS X application/function with no issues.
    I guess my work around will be to OCR the text from Acrobat and open in Word. The descriptors have to be 100% accurate and some of them are pretty long.
