An Administrator can add translations for phrases in a corresponding language. That phrase translation displays in column headings of Horizontal, Vertical and Filter views. A user can also set an option to Display Translations for Column Data.

Syniti provides the SAP Catalog Phrases content pack for Construct. This content pack includes over 8,000 translations for commonly used SAP field names in the following languages:

  • English (EN)

  • Chinese (CH)

  • French (FR)

  • German (DE)

  • Japanese (JP)

  • Portuguese (PT)

  • Russian (RU)

  • Spanish (ES)

You can download the phrase translations language file for the required languages as Excel spreadsheets from this content pack.

Key points to remember about WebApp Catalogs:

  • Adding a phrase translation at the WebApp or the system level instructs the Syniti Construct to display the phrase translation on every applicable page within the WebApp or the system to which the catalog is assigned.

  • Adding a phrase at the page level displays the translation on that page only.

  • Phrases cannot be added to any catalog with the Read Only check box enabled on the Catalogs page's Vertical View.

Refer to Manage WebApp Catalogs for more information.
