SAP Process Design and Implementation

Design a Scalable, Repeatable SAP Translation Process


A structured translation process ensures new texts are translated in time for each release change or sprint. We can help you set up a scalable, repeatable workflow tailored to your development and change management approach.

We implement automated SAP translation workflows that efficiently handle both ongoing development changes and correction cycles.

The process typically begins with setting up a process for initial translation. This step covers your development and Customizing backlog for the apps and transactions that will be used in the target language.

Next, we’ll set up a process for delta translation, if required.

The third potential step is to assist you in developing procedures for correcting translation issues reported by testers or end users, which can include internationalization issues originating from development.

Once implementation is complete, we’ll provide you with detailed documentation of all processes and also offer training sessions for your teams.

1

Delta Translation Process Setup

Problem

You want to implement a translation process that ensures that new texts created by your developers and consultants in the SAP frontend and backend are translated into your organization’s languages in time for each release or sprint.

Solution

We set up a repeatable, reliable, and efficient process that seamlessly integrates with your development landscape and change management. Correct translations for ongoing changes from development and customizing will then become available on test and production system in regular intervals.

Benefits

Translation effort is reduced since there is no need to track single texts or specifically request individual translations. A completely translated UI improves user experience.

2

Efficient Translation Issue Management

Problem

You want to establish a standardized process that allows testers and end users to report incorrect and missing translations while also enabling your support team to fix any reported issues. This process not only has to integrate with your change management, but must also ensure that changes are tracked and retained.

Solution

We help you design a process that works for your organization and ensures that translation issues are fixed quickly.

Benefits

Improved user experience and reduced development effort.

3

End-to-End Translation Process Optimization

Problem

You are revising your SAP translation approach and need expert guidance.

Solution

We help define roles, responsibilities, and best practices for managing translations. We also create documentation and provide training for your team.

Benefits

Ensure long-term success through robust and efficient standardized SAP translation processes.
