Translation of texts that where changed via configuration

Hello,
I have changed several OTR texts of webdynpro components via the component configuration. Is there a possibility to translate the new texts?
Regards
Sebastian

Hi Saurav,
My problem is that suppose I am running the application in a language for which translations are provided by SAP like German & English then these standard texts appear as desired in those languages.
But if i run my application for languages like Hindi suppose for which SAP do not provide any translations then these std texts appear in German.
Thanks,
Saurabh

Translate OTR message

I don't know where this subject shoud be put. Since this issue occurred when i developing wd4a, i put it here.
when an invalidate date was entered, the dynpro will prompt a message ''2010/09/31' ist ein ungültiges Datum. " with language DE. I know the text concept id '42E77505469C2AC7E10000000A1146E5' but i don't know how to translate it into language ZH.
i tried t-code SOTR_EDIT and find the concept through package SABP, but cannot create new language for the otr text.

There is also a translation "tool" for OTR translations that is freely available on SCN - it is nice to use in that it makes it much easier to see which text needs translations
[OTR Text Translation Tool for Web Dynpro ABAP|https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/WDABAP/OTRTextTranslationToolforWebDynpro+ABAP]
Actually if you just enter the term "OTR" in the Wiki search you will find lots of documentation on how to achieve your aims!
Good luck,
Chris

How can we transport the standard changed OTR texts w.r.t translation?

How can we transport the standard changed OTR texts with out effecting the translation concept.?
means i need to see the text in different languages which ever logged in.

using the function module SOTR_API_WB_TRANSLATE you can maintain translation in different languages for the OTR texts maintained in your WDA.
No need to transport,you can directly execute this FM by passing the below parameters:
SOURCE_LANGU                    EN
TARGET_LANGU                    FR
PGMID                           LIMU
OBJECT                          WDYV
OBJ_NAME                        %
FLAG_STRING
EDIT_MODE                       T

OTR text translation doesn't appears on BSP

Hi,
I use an OTR text in a BSP but I can't edit its translation.
The text has been created in language EN.
I have created the FR translation using transaction SE63_OTR.
The FR version exists and I can see it SOTR_EDIT.
I have clear the buffer with transaction /$otr.
Abap code used in BSP handler:
CALL METHOD cl_bsp_get_text_by_alias=>get_text
EXPORTING
language = sy-langu
alias = f_otr_text
RECEIVING
alias_text = f_designation.
Unfortunately my translation doesn't appears in my explorer.
I use the method bellow to get the french translation but it doesn't work, F_DESIGNATION is always the EN text even if SY-LANGU is FR.
Do you have an idea ?
Thank you.
Julien.

If you have translated your text you should get it in Spanish.
Try to add spanish language to your browsers languages and run your application.

Mass OTR texts translation

Hi all.
I need to translate a lot of OTR texts. First I uploaded a file with the aliases, original OTR texts and all the translations to internal table. I tried to use batch input for transaction se63 (translations), but it doesn't work. Please suggest any other ways for mass OTR texts translation.
TIA,
regards, Nikolai.

Hi NIk,
Hi,
Trasaction for the OTR is SOTR_EDIT .
following steps:
1: Go to Transaction SOTR_EDIT
2: Put the Alias name and display
3: Go to Change menu (Edit>Context>Change)
4:Do not choose anything in the popup. Just Hit Enter.
5: You will be in change mode. Now select the language (e.g. DE)
6: Blank out the Length field. Enter the text in Text field.
The length will come automatically. (Or you can also specify the max value here).
7: Now Press Save button. The text has been saved.
8: Now select other language from dropdown
(E.g. EL Greek) and change the Text and blank out the Length field
(you can also specify Max length here as per your choice)
And press Save. In similar way,
you can just create the OTR for Multilanguageu2019s.
9: At last save and come out. Enter another Alias and repeat the procedure.
Hope this will Help You
Thanks

WebDynpro output and translation of texts

Hi,
I use the VC combined with WebDynpro output.
Does anybody know how to translate texts at runtime, because the way described here (Translation Worklist): http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005vp/helpdata/en/25/08174082fe1961e10000000a155106/content.htm only works for the Flash output!
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Enrico Lenk.

We would need more information. The texts that have to be translated, are those e.g. table-headers or the data in tables itself?
For both things it depends on whether your backend system has the texts in other languages and if your user passes the language to the backend.
The translation of texts as described in the document that you mention, is just for metadata like button texts, header texts etc. and this is valid for Flash and Web Dynpro.

How to use OTR text in normal ABAP UI (Not in webdynpro)

Hello ,
I hav a requirement to assign an OTR text to a UI element in ABAP screen. How can we do that...?
I tried the syntax $OTR:<pkgname>/<aliasname> in the properties tab of the UI element,
But on executinf the screen am gewtting the syntax itself as tooltip....
Please give some inputs...
Linda.

Hello
I am not sure whether we can assign it at the screen properties level. But you can do one thing, call the FM SOTR_READ_TEXT_WITH_KEY by passing the context of the SOTR you want to read and get the text associated back in the ENTRY structure.
You can have a I/O field which is output only on the screen. And in the program you can assign the OTR text to this I/O field so that the OTR text will be displayed.

Best practice with otr texts in wd

hi,
when I enhance a wd component I want to work with otr texts and I have two questions:
1. Is the best way to store the otr texts in a separate new package or in the still existing package of the enhanced wd component?
2. Makes it sense to fetch even the static texts in the abap coding (not the ui elements) like message manager from the otr or is it then overacting?
thanks

Hi,
Answer to your questions.
1. Is the best way to store the otr texts in a separate new package or in the still existing package of the enhanced wd component?
A. You can create OTR texts any where as long as the transport goes along with the webdynpro component. Its always good to have the OTR in the same package. Its more like the text element concept in ABAP.
2. Makes it sense to fetch even the static texts in the abap coding (not the ui elements) like message manager from the otr or is it then overacting?
A. Its a good habit to fetch all the static text from OTR. this helps in several ways.
a) If the message is used n number of times then you just have to change the text in OTR and it reflects all
b) If the message needs to be displayed in a different language then just the OTR needs to be maintained for the alias in a different language.

Otr-texts and country-specific

Hi,
can someone explain how the context section for the OTR-texts works ?? I have my OTR-texts in english and the application has been rolled out to more countries in english. Now, some funny guys don´t want the texts as they are, but as they need it.
OTR-Text: ZACC_FORECAST
Text: Forecast bonus relevant "<-- UK
People in NL want that text like "Forecast objectives"
I know there´s the option in the context for specifying a country, which I already did but the main question is now how do I call the OTR-text from my code ?? using the portal logon language I see no text.
Thanks.

Hello,
thanks but this does not have something to do with the translation. We´re using english in Holland for the BSP application but as I explained, UK wants something and NL wants something else.
Unfortunately I found no documentation neither in SDN nor in the online help nor in internet for field Country in section context of SOTR_EDIT.

Can we replace OTR text with Images?

Hi All,
I just wanted to know can we replace OTR text with Images?
or
Can we define an image as an OTR text? so that it can be placed in the page where OTR text is used.
regards...
Ravi

Hi Ravi,
it is possible to replace an OTR Text with an image.
You first have to define the Link in the OTR Text where your image is located. This can be everywhere in the Internet or better on a secured intranet server which everyone can reach easily without permission problems. Maybe in the DMZ.
You can even link it into the MIME Repository of your SAP System as well.
Then you have to put that OTR Text into a
<htmlb:textview> Tag and ensure that the switch
" encode = "TRUE" is enabled.
Well thats all.
Keep in mind that the a different language, set in the Internet Explorer or other viewing instances, disables the link if it not "translated" into that language.
This can also be an advantage if you got multilingual fixed pictures with drawn text in it.
I suggest you put all your links ( with a Value Field and at least a name field) into a seperate table into the repository for easy maintaining.
Greetings,
Dominik

What is Concept in OTR texts and how does it work?

Hi,
Can someone explain me how does concepts in OTR texts work?
I have a problem with one of BSP Applications where I'm using a OTR text. I think the problem is with this concept.
Thanks,
Chaith.

hi chaitanya,
By using OTR texts, you have the advantage that your BSP application will be language-independent. All the texts defined in the OTR are displayed at runtime in the logon language. If the texts are not yet available in the logon language, they are displayed in the system language. The OTR texts that you create are automatically translated or are forwarded to the translation transaction (SE63) and are entered in the translators worklist
To create an OTR long text from your BSP application, you do not have to go explicitly into the OTR. Proceed as follows:
In the page editor select the texts relevant for translation, using the <OTR>... </OTR> tag.
When you generate your BSP, all these text fragments are passed from the system to the OTR. The concept returned by the OTR is generated in the relevant place on your page and serves as the unique identifier for your text.
Continue as normal creating your BSP application.
U can go through following link u will get more idea on how to use OTR.
