Hi ,

I have requirement to create custom table with contents can be entered in any language.

Whereas if an entry is maintained in English language i need to convert the entry in other languages as well.

So user with Spanish login can view the same entry in spanish language .

Thanks,

S.Sriram

Build two tables :

  • a basic table key + data,  but no text
  • a text table : key + language + texts, assign as table text thru foreign key relation

There are many, many, many such table in SAP for sample. Also dialog maintenance generator will automatically detect and use the text table.

Then you could "play" with maintenance events like Event 02 after saving the data in the database

(perform some tests) to call any external tool for automatic translation like some Web Services...
