How to organize translation of customer developments

Hello everybody,
I am having a hard time finding documentation on how to organize translation of customer development objects. I've had a look at the articles in service.sap.com\globalization and also at the SAP Online documentation, but I am having trouble getting the overall picture.
We have a 3-tier system landscape with installed languages english, german, italian and 2 clients in every system, one primarily used by german users, one for primarily italian users. In both clients, there are development activities, so we have ojects with original language german and others italian. Is it useful to create an extra client which is solely reserved for translation? What are the alternatives and what consequences do they have on the translation process?
Anybody any experience on this topic? Where else could I find documentation on this topic?
Thank you for your help, regard, Kathrin!

Hi Kathrin,
I've never seen these transactions before (SLWA/SLWB). Every time you turn over a stone SAP presents another whole new raft of functionality that you didn't know about.
From my experience (rolled out one European solution, in the process of doing another) however, I'm not sure that use of these is really required. Maybe there is benefit but it seems a little excessive to me (after only a quick view).
By before migration, I mean before moving to the next tier in your landscape (from DEV to QA). So, one of the quality checks on all objects before they are allowed to leave the DEV system is checking to ensure that they are translated to all languages (by a native speaker for each language to check for accuracy).
Hope that helps.

How to find out which custom developments exist?

Hi there,
I have a question regarding custom developments:
Is there a fast way to find out which custom developments exist in a SAP system?
My approach would be to check the transactions SE38, SE37 and so on and search for objects starting with Y and Z. Does anybody know a more convenient way to do this analyzes?
Thanks and regards,
Martin

Hi Martin

Hello. I just know the muse and I need an organization of customers in alphabetical order. The problem is that you will always get new customers. I need to know how to insert a new customer (square) and it already comes in alphabetical order on the page.

Hello.
I just know the muse and I need an organization of customers in alphabetical order. The problem is that you will always get new customers. I need to know how to insert a new customer (square) and it already comes in alphabetical order on the page. The site will be like in the link below, and each client will be a window of these: http://www.connary.com/. I look back.
A hug, Murilo.

I believe you are referring to thumbnail image rectangles as customers on page ? not exactly customer database ?
You can add rectangle with different effects with mouse rollover state and regarding adding new ones , you would need to do that manually in design mode .

How do we translate custom OAF pages to Multiple languages

Hi All,
I have some custom OAF pages and need to be translated to Arabic specific format.
I find that all the OAF page,components,lables... are stored in JDR tables.
We applied NLS patch for arabic localization and custom pages are not being translated.
So how do we translate the ciustom OAF pages to to specific language.
I saw that we require .XLF(translation file for each languge ) file for each page in the mds directory of Product TOP for seeded pages.
So how do I generate traslation file for my custom page.
Any help on this would be of great help....
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
For custom OAF pages we need to generate the .xlf files and add the translations and import to MDS.
can use the follwing to command to extract
D:\Jdeveloper\jdevbin\jdev\bin\xliffextract /temp/oracle/apps/fnd/finapps/webui/EmployeeInfoPG -includeSubpackages -mmd_dir D:\Jdeveloper\jdevbin\jdev\lib\ext\jrad\config\mmd -root D:\Temp\XLIF\XXTFRMSLAUC19 -xliff_dir D:\Temp\XLIF\XXTFRMSLAUC19 -source db -username apps -password apps -dbconnection "(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST==incq027bc.idc.oracle.com))(PORT=1521))(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=des9i2)))" -languages ar-AE
Now add the translations in the .xlf file and import to MDS.
can use the following import command
java oracle.jrad.tools.trans.imp.XLIFFImporter $JAVA_TOP/temp/oracle/apps/fnd/finapps/webui/EmployeeInfoPG.xlf -username apps -password apps -dbconnection "(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(Host=incq027bc.idc.oracle.com)(Port=1521)) (CONNECT_DATA=(SID=des9i2)))"

Help needed for translation of custom objects

Hi All,
We are currently in the process of upgrading from 11i to R12.1.3. We have a lot of custom reports and forms which needs to be translated based on language preference set at user level. The approach we have taken is as follows:
1. Created one unique look up type for each of the custom objects.
2. Each lookup code is mapped to a field of the custom object (report or form).
3. Entered the translation for each of the lookup codes using Globe icon (Translation Form) available on the lookup form.
4. When the user logs into his account, we are filterting out the record specific to user environment language using the condition:
language of fnd_lookup_values = usernev('lang') and getting the translated labels for each of the fields in the custom object.
Now what we would like to understand is if there is any other better way of doing translation based on user preferred language.
We have heard about Oracle Translation Manager (OTM) but not sure how the same can be used in our case. Also we would like to know how Oracle does translation for the languages that are enabled in a particular instance. We would like to know if a similar approach can be followed for custom objects as well.
Thanks & Regards,
Sreenivasa M

We had the arrayList/collections lecture today.
I asked the teacher about sorting objects and he started explaining hashmaps and then he mentioned another thing which we will only be learning next term, I'm sure we must only use what we have learned.
How exactly can this be done. I have asked a few questions in the post already.
ThanksWell, there was probably a gap in the communication. Hash maps (or hash tables, etc.) are instance of Map. Those are used to locate a value by its unique key. Generally, to speed up access, you implement a hashing function (this will be explained hopefully in class). Think of name-value pairs that are stored where the name is unique.
Contrast this with items that are sorted. Any List can be sorted because its elements are ordered. An ArrayList is ordered, generally, by the order you inserted the elements. However, any List can be given its own ordering via Comparable or Comparator. You can't do this with an ordinary Map. The purpose of a Map is speedy access to the name-value pairs, not sorting. The List likewise has different purposes, advantages, disadvantages, etc. List can be sorted.
A Map is generally similar to a Set. A Set is a vanilla collection that guarnatees uniqueness of each element (note, not name-value pairs, but simple elements). There is one concrete class of Map that can be sorted, TreeMap, but I doubt your professor was referring to that. The values or the keys can be returned from the Map and sorted separately, but again, I doubt he was referring to that.
Take a look at the Collections tutorial here on this site or Google one. It is fairly straightforward. Just keep in mind that things (generally) break down into Set, Map and List. There are combinations of these and different flavors (e.g., Queue, LinkedHashMap, etc.) But if you can learn how those three differ, you will go a long way towards understanding collections.
(Oh, and be sure to study up on iterators.)

How to organize Mail folders?

Hello,
I am having a heck of a time trying to figure out how to do something in Mac Mail (I'm on Mountain Lion with a MacBook Pro with Retina Display).
In the past (pre-Mountain Lion), I had individual folders for each of my mail accounts. For example, I had a folder for Comcast mail, Gmail, Hotmail, iCloud, and Yahoo. In the left-hand column of the main Mail window, it was nicely organized so that there was the "main" folder for a particular email service, and then underneath that folder there would be other folders such as Sent, Trash, etc.
However, the way it appears now is that there is one single "Inbox", and underneath that Inbox are MORE Inboxes, with each one being a different mail service. For example, under my Inbox, the next thing down is "POP Account", then "GMail", then iCloud". But they ALL fall under the main heading of "Inbox".
I really don't care for it to be set up this way. I much prefer having a dedicated Inbox for each mail service, and then the various folders that relate only to that service underneath.
I hope I'm describing this correctly. For years, it was set up the way that I liked it. I'm not sure when it self-changed to the way it is now, but I really don't care for it. I've gone through all of the menus and I can not figure out how to get it back to the way it was.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

The “On My Mac” folder has never existed as such, neither in Mail 1.x nor in Mail 2.x. Mail uses that term to differentiate custom mailboxes stored locally on your computer from mailboxes stored on the server of IMAP accounts.
In Mail 1.x such mailboxes appeared in the mailbox list grouped under an “On My Mac” icon, whether that’s how you wanted them to appear or not. In Mail 2.x, this changed to offer greater flexibility in how the user wants his/her custom mailboxes to be organized — see Mail Help’s “My mailbox organization was lost after upgrading Mac OS X” article. This allows the user to have multiple top-level “On My Mac” hierarchies, or name the group differently, or have custom mailboxes appear directly at the top level of the mailbox list for greater convenience, etc.
To answer your question, no, you aren’t stuck with how Mail organizes custom mailboxes, but as you have found out, Mail has some bugs & glitches when it comes to reorganizing mailboxes, and you should make a back up of at least your ~/Library/Mail/ folder before start making changes, just in case.
I sometimes reorganize my own custom mailboxes by renaming and/or moving them, and have never experienced any issues myself, so you should certainly be able to do things like that. There are only two things I recommend not doing in Mail when reorganizing mailboxes:
1. Even though Mail allows it, don’t use a folder as both a mailbox (i.e. to store messages of its own) and as a parent folder for other folders.
2. Never, ever, rename a folder just to change its capitalization. If you want to change from uppercase to lowercase or vice versa, rename the folder to something different first.
A more thorough discussion of these issues, for those who might be interested, can be found in the following thread, for example:

Where to maintain Turksih translation for customer specific status?

HI gurus,
How was your New Year?
I am kindaa of stuck at maintaining translations from English to Turkish. To maintain translation e.g. For Ee grp I go to Table T501 > on the menu GOTO > Translate > select the language > enter Turkish words. but for the following the translate option is coming dim for me. I don't know if there any other place to maintain it. I am having trouble with the following:
- customer specific status Table: VV_T529U_1__AL0 or Prnl mgmt. > Pernl. admn. > Custm proc. > Create cust. Spec. status
- Marital status V_T502T or Prnl. Mgmt. > Prnl. admn. > Personal data > Personal Data > Create Marital Status
- Pay scale type V_t510A or Prsnl mgmt. > Prsnl admn> Payroll data > Basic Pay > Check Pay Scale Type
Thanks a ton,
JEss..

Hi
I was able to do the translation for customer specific status and MArital status. For this, when logging in change the language to Thai > Use Tcode SU3 > on the second tab change the language to Thai. from here, everything comes in Thai. you can easily maintain it from there using your table or through SPRO.
Thanks,
JEss..

Recent Windows Convert - How to Organize iPhoto

Hi all-- I'm a recent Windows convert and could use some advice on how to organize iPhoto.
I have an external 2TB drive that I've attached to my new iMac that has all my personal files from my Windows machine on it. It's organized like "Videos" "Music" "Pictures" "Docuemnts" "Downloads" etc..etc..
I want to KEEP this organization if possible as I share it to my MediaCenter HTPC that will stay Windows. The MediaCenter library expects to see the Pictures folder and sub-folders (what I think translate to Events or Albums in iPhoto - not sure which).
So my question is:
I see that iPhoto stores all it's pictures in its' Library file in a Masters>Yr>Mo>Da folder structure. Is this a requirement to maintain this structure? Makes sharing it to the MediaCenter & extenders very hard to browse.
Comments/Suggestions? Thanks!

Simple suggestion: Don't use iPhoto at all.
It has no cross platform ability, and as you want to store your material on the MediaCenter, which is a NAS you find yourself with a
Referenced Library - that is, one where iPhoto doesn't copy the files into its own library - tricky enough for someone not familiar with macs and iPhoto
and
The Library on one disk with the files on another. You end up with this because iPhoto needs the Library on a disk formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and the Media Center isn't.
In this scenario, iPhoto indexes your files in place but this is not iPhoto's comfort zone. Specifically, if any element of the path to the files changes, then you could find yourself fixing it for every single photo, one at a time.

How do you invoke the customer satisfaction guarantee on HP photo paper?

OK, perhaps this is a silly question, but I can't find anything on the HP site or forums that addresses this. How does one invoke the customer satisfaction guarantee on HP photo paper? The instructions in the box (and website) tell me to call HP customer care. I did that, and spent 25 minutes having a technician tell me it was a problem with my printer (HP Photosmart C6180), my printer was out of warranty, and I would need to exchange it and pay a fee to upgrade to a newer model with a 1 year warranty. She seemed not to care or know anything about the customer satisfaction guarantee for paper; she was only trained to tell you the problem was most surely with the printer.
In case anyone here can help, I have the HP Premium Plus 4x6 glossy paper, and whenever I use it the picture quality is extremely poor--not at all what I expected from the paper. It appears the ink has "balled" up, and it looks very splotchy. I am setting the paper type appropriately when printing, and I use original HP 02 inks. When I use other photo paper to print photos, they come out perfectly. Having wasted quite a bit of ink and paper trying different things, I'm just not satisfied and would like to discuss this further with HP.

The only numbers available (I've just reached over and picked up a box of premium plus 4X6 from my supply shelves to look) are on the bottom end back of the box. They are directly under their corresponding bar codes; the Product Number (for 4X6 premium plus it's Q1978AC) and what looks like the SKU (on my box, ignoring the small 8 and 5 at either end, that reads 0873654213). Additionally, there is a "Lot Number" (printed in white dot printing on a gray box background) directly above the product number (which should have "US" in the upper left, and a string below that...mine is US00204805). There is no number on the back of the paper, just the HP logo and a string of 6 small dots under it in a diagonal pattern spread across it.
So, I expect they want all three; Product Number, SKU, and Lot Number...the last likely so that that can pull a lot sample from their QA inventory and attempt to reproduce the issue back at the lab.
Hope that helps.

I build databases with appleworks over 10 years on my ibook, and continue to add to them. Now I have a macbook pro. How can I translate the databases to a compatible program?

Over 10 years I have built several databases with Appleworks. Now I have a macbook pro. How can I translate these databases to a 10.6.8 program?

Thanks Joe, but that won't work. I've finally found a site that answers the question: http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/aw/page1.html
I can only say that by Apple I have been royally screwed. I'll never buy another mac -- everything I do would simply disappear into cyberspace.

Hi,
Take your three plants as AAAA, BBBB and CCCC.... and these 3 plants may be assigned to the Sales Area of AAA 10 10, BBB 10 10 and CCC 10 10.
Your STO will have following 4 flows.
1. AAAA - CCCC
2. AAAA - BBBB
3. BBBB- CCCC
4. BBBB- AAAA
you need to do the following settings...
1. Assign the Sales Area for the Shipping Plants... for ex (AAAA - AAA 10 10 and BBBB - BBB 10 10)
2. You need to Create a Internal Customer for every Rec. Plant and need to assign the same to the Rec Plant. And Also note that this customer needs to be created in the Sales Area which is assigned in the Shipping Plant.
(Note that CCCC will be Rec Plant from Both AAAA and BBBB... So you need to extend that customer for both the Sales Area of the plants AAAA and BBBB)
Following is the example settings required for our scenario 1.
AAAA will be a supplying plant and CCCC will be rec. plant.... for this you need to create a internal Customer (for ex C1000) in Sales area AAA 10 10 (which is assigned to the plant AAAA) and assign the Customer number (C1000) to Plant CCCC.
Now you created a plant CCCC as a customer in Sales Area AAA 10 10 (which is nothing but plant AAAA)...
Also here you need assign the Sales Area AAA 10 10 to the Plant AAAA.
Hope this will be useful to you.
Thanks,
Muthu

To add to sig's reply, "calibrating" does not calibrate Lithiu-Ion batteries, it calibrates the charge reporting circuitry. If you look at the effect of deep discharging Lithium-Ion batteries in the data from the independent test group, Battery University, you will see that doing so shortens the life of the battery significantly. It looks like an optimum balance between use and life is at a discharge level of 50%.
