13.5.1 SAP HANA Delivery-Unit Translation Details
The SAP HANA repository includes features for translating package-related metadata texts. If you plan to
translate the contents of the new delivery unit you create, you must maintain translation details.
Translation details provide a brief overview of the type and current status of the text objects to be translated, for
example, by specifying the technical area of the new delivery unit and indicating the current status of translation
texts.
Note: Translation text can include the following elements: UI strings (menus, dialog titles), error
messages, and documentation, amongst other things. Package names and descriptions are also relevant
for translation purposes as are the names and descriptions of database views, tables, columns, and so on.
To make things easier for the translation team, you should maintain the following metadata for translation
purposes; the metadata must be maintained at the package level:
● Terminology domain (mandatory)
The technical/product area with which your delivery unit (application) is associated, for example: AC
(Accounting General), FI (Financial Accounting), or PP (Production Planning and Control). This enables
translator teams to assign work to the most suitable experts, and allows the translators to make use of
existing terminology databases. The terminology domain is used by SAP internal translation systems.
● Text collection (mandatory)
The name space for the text objects in the translation system. Technically, you can use any value, but the
text-collection name space is similar to the package namespace used in SAP HANA, for example:
"sap.hana.xs.docs". The value assigned to the Text collection field is used by SAP internal translation systems.
● Hint
An optional field that customers and partners can use to pass on notes concerning the text objects tagged for
translation.
● Text status
An optional field that customers and partners can use to pass on information indicating the current stage in
the translation-review process of the text objects, for example: "New", "In review", "Reviewed", "Approved",
"Published", and so on.
13.5.2 Maintaining Translation Details
Translation details provide a brief overview of the type and current status of the text objects to be translated, for
example, by specifying the technical area of the new delivery unit and indicating the current status of translation
texts.
If you plan to translate the contents of a delivery unit, you must maintain translation details. You can maintain the
translation details when you create a new delivery unit or for existing delivery units. It is mandatory to maintain
the following translation-related details:
● Terminology domain
The technical/product area with which your delivery unit (application) is associated, for example: AC
(Accounting General), FI, or PP.
● Text collection
