SAP SE63 transaction is used for Smartforms translation to different target languages and SLXT ABAP report is
used to export translation text to other SAP system. Especially if you are a SAP Smartform developer or ABAP
developer who is creating an output in different languages, you can use SE63 tcode for translating static text like
titles, headers, etc. And ABAP program SLXT can be executed for creating a workbench task for export to other
SAP systems covering target language translations of specific Smartform objects.
This SAP tutorial shows how to use SE63 transaction for translating Smartform document into different
languages. Then tutorial will continue step by step execution of SLXT ABAP program to package text translation
into an ABAP workbench request. And as the last step, we will export Smartform translation to other system
using SE09 transaction in this SAP Smartform tutorial.
SAP Smartforms Translation using SE63 Transaction Code
Call SAP transaction code SE63 to start our Smartform translation task. When SE63 initial screen is displayed,
follow menu options: Translation > ABAP Objects > Other Long Texts
SAP SE63 transaction code to translate SAP Smartform output to other languages
After you select Other Long Objects in SE63 translation SAP screen, we will select SAP Smart Form object.
SAP Smartform translation to a different language using SE63 SAP transaction for ABAP developers
After Smartform object type is selected, in the following SAP screen we will provide form name in Object Name
filter criteria. Leave unchanged the Translation Area textbox.
Enter the source language which is the original language of the Smartform object you want ot translate from.
Anter in target language textbox, provide the four character language code which you want to translate into.
In this SAP tutorial example I'll translate Smartform from Slovenian into English. So I enter slSI in source
language and in target language I provide enUS English US.
After you complete the required data in the form, press Edit button to proceed to the next ABAP screen
SE63 editor screen where ABAP developers can edit translation of Smartform SAP source object
The top readonly section is displaying original text from source language. And editable bottom section is showing
target language texts which can be modified by the developer for the target language translation.
You can add new lines for target language text translation of the source SAP Smartform object. It is also possible
to delete existing lines.
Press Save Active button to save changes on Smartform translation and activate changes using SE63 tcode.
You can now exit SE63 text translation transaction with F3. At this point you can the translation changes you
have done on the current system. But if you want to export translation changes to other system, we need to
create a transport request. We can create a workbench request which will include SAP Smartform translation
changes using a standart SAP report SLXT.
SAP SLXT transaction code for translation export of SAP Smartform documents
