original language handling - Details

• 
  Key Concepts: 
  Original language handling is a feature of the BC-DOC-DTL Documentation Tools component of SAP software. It allows users to create and maintain documentation in multiple languages, including English, German, French, Spanish, and Italian. This feature ensures that all documentation is accurate and up-to-date in each language. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use original language handling, users must first create a document in the original language. This document can then be translated into other languages using the translation tools provided by SAP. Once the document has been translated, users can maintain the document in each language by making changes to the original document and then translating those changes into the other languages. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using original language handling, it is important to remember that changes made to the original document will need to be translated into all other languages. This can be time consuming, so it is important to plan ahead and make sure that all changes are made at once. Additionally, it is important to double check all translations for accuracy before publishing them.
