Below are the list of items that need to be taken into consideration while adding a new language into the product base version.

• Firstly, the new language must be added as an additional user language and should be added to the User Interface Language table (UILTXT) that can be accessed via Maintain Codetables.
• Necessary source changes are:
  • Allow new language as user language and for online help
  • Allow new language for all letters (thus add the new language to every document panel which is also allowed for the current languages DE, ES)
• To translate the whole product, it is recommended to do it on a step by step basis:
  • To start with, translate all the .ini files such as tdpara.ini, tdrights.ini etc.
  • For each transaction,
    • the UI literals should be translated to the additional language.
    • all code tables must be translated.
    • all letters/correspondences must be translated.
    • help texts and document literals such as text modules must be translated.
    • Dokuwiki documentation for each business sectors must be translated.
    • MyModelbank documentation must be translated.
