WF translations

[akshay.bhagwat@wipro.com]

Hi Florin and all,

Thanks for the inputs.

I have taken care of the setting about display WI text option for Log on
Language.
Actually my doubt was about the version i.e. Old Work items created will
be based on old version of WF and new work items will be based on new
version, which will also have translation related changes.

So I was suspecting that the translation related changes will be
applicable only to work items which are created after the changes are
moved to destination system, and not to older existing work items.
Could you pls give your thought on this?


  

Thanks and Regards, 

Akshay Bhagwat

Hello Akshay,

as far as I know -- and please may anyone give corrections here -- the
translation of workitem-texts is the following:

- Every workflow gets /one/ creation-language.
- Work item's header texts are persistently stored/copied upon work item
creation in this language into SWWWIHEAD table
- If the checkbox "Display work item texts in logon language" is /not/
set, this text of the workflow-language will be displayed and not
re-evaluated, even if you change the work item text (definition)
- If you set the checkbox "Display work item texts in logon language"
and logon in a different language then the workflow's language, the
system will create the text with the currently newest text definition of
the work item as found in TS.....

So, depending on the language that you start the workflow, and on the
logon language, the new translations will be immediatly used or not.

I have also experienced, that it may take a few minutes until new
translations appear in a system, /even / if you used transaction
SWU_OBUF.

Best wishes,
   Florin
