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.

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
