Text in multiple languages

[former_member15918]

Hello Guys,

I need to post to create an output in Web dynpro ABAP which could be in multiple languages.

Can you please help me to understand how to maintain text in multiple languages in WDA.

Appreciate your help in advance.

Regards,

Hema

Hi Hema,

for texts on WD-Views use OTR-texts (Online Text repository).

Enter texts in your WD view UI-element text property like $OTR:MYTEXTNAME and press enter, a little window will open where you can input your text.

OTR-texts can be translated. For maintenance also check TA SOTR_EDIT.

Texts in programs can be dealt with (for example) via assistance class.

Kind regards, Silke

It's quite well described int he Online Help [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/f8/dd8a09276111d5b316000102a3fd99/frameset.htm]

Choose Translation --> ABAP Objects --> Other Long Texts --> OT OTR --> LOTR OTR Long Texts

Then you have enter the name of the otr object,

if you dont know exactly type the wildcard * and your otr-conceptname and press f4

Hello Robert,

Actually the issue I am facing is I am not able to locate the object name not even after using F4 help.

In SORT_EDIT after creating long text where does it show object name?

You have to know the exact technical name of your otr text.

It's something like this: "PWPC_EXP_01 3C45497B2E1A374EE10000000A1145B3"

The "3C45497B2E1A374EE10000000A1145B3" is the Concept, its the OTR-ID.

Go to SOTR_EDIT, there you will see the Concept of your OTR Text.

Go to SE63 and add e.g. "*3C45497B2E1A374EE10000000A1145B3" into the inputfield and hit F4.

I am still wondering how you can create a new otr long text in SOTR_EDIT,

i could only craete new short texts there.

Hello ,

Thanks to everyone who replied to this thread.

I have created short text and successfully Translated it...

But when I select Long text radio button to create long text using SOTR_EDIT the Create ICON gets disabled.

I believe OTR Long texts are not supported in Web dynpro ABAP.

Hello Robert,

I had created short text not the long text and my all the confusion started there.

But as mentioned above now I am back to square one HOW TO CREATE LONG Text ?

My screens will be containing long messages which I would need to translate.

According to SAP Online Help: [Creating OTR Long Text|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/1c/7dd43a2f544050e10000000a11402f/content.htm]

There is only support for OTR Long Texs in BSP.

Furthermore you should check this how to handle with long textes in wda: [Internationalization and Translation|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/0a/784941bb75f623e10000000a155106/frameset.htm] there it says: "We do not recommend or support the use OTR long texts, nor their display in text view."
