WF translations (OSS note 214388)

Hello Kjetil,
It is stranger than you think. When I connect in another language than =
the language in which the WF was developed (in this case WF developed in =
EN and translated to FR and NL). When I connect thus in FR and launch =
SWDD and check the decision task, I see in the decision task options =
that the text of the buttons are translated indeed. Then comes the =
strange part if I get to an inbox in the translated language the buttons =
nevertheless appear in english.
I translated through se63 and also tried the translation Wizard of the =
WF builder, but it is always the same result. The frustrating part is =
that the buttons are the ONLY thing not translated the rest =
Workitemtexts, descriptions etc everything works fine. Even the standard =
button 'Cancel & Keep WI in inbox' is translated so it is only with the =
buttons i defined.
In the bible there is not a lot concerning the translations... there =
seems to be a known problem see note 214388
Thank you for your efforts
Dimitri

Yes, you can translate them and yes they are stored on the step level.
My point was: if you look at the workflow log, select a freshly created
work item of the standard decision task and look at its container, do =
you
see the decision texts there? I seem to recall that you do, but as I =
said
it has been a while. If the texts are there they were created when the =
work
item was created, and thus will use the language of the work item =
creator.
Strangely enough the answer to this is not in the bible (Practical =
Workflow
for SAP in case you are not familiar with it).

Hello,
The text of the decision buttons are stored on the step level and not on
the task level. Thus it appears in the WF texts to translate. In the =
note
you are supposed to be able to maintain them but somehow he does not =
show
them in the buttons. Eventhough you see the translation in se63 as well =
as
in the possible outcomes of the step in a different language.
It is just a question that they do not show up in the buttons at =
runtime...
Thanks for your help
Dimitri

It has been a while since I used a standard decision task, but aren't =
the
texts stored in the container? If so, they will always have the language =
of
the work item creator.

Hi Dimitri,
Did you try by (re)activating your workflow in the workflow builder. Try =
it
in the both languages.

Hi Miguel,
I tried the logon/logoff already and it did not help.
Any other idea?

Hi Dimitri,
try this first:
Go to your SAP Buisness workplace. Menu:Settings-->workflow
settings-->Personal settings -->in the window check the line "Display
work item in logon language". Then logoff, logon with your second
language and test. It's possible to make this setting default for all
users with a bit of custo.

Hello,
I'm back concerning the translations. I checked the OSS and found note
214388 (User decision in logon language)
The solution is supposed to correct everything but it seems to correct
only the translation of the Work-item texts (which is already a step
forward)
The user decision option buttons are still shown in the implementation
language an not in the user language.
The corrections suggested by the OSS are installed also.
I'm a little bit out of options here so any advice would be helpful
By the way we are on 4.6C.
Thank you very much in advance
Dimitri
