What is domain assignment in SAP BC-DOC-TTL - Translation Tools?

SAP Term: domain assignment

• Component: BC-DOC-TTL

• Component Name: Translation Tools

• Description: In the development environment, developers assign their ABAP packages to application components in the application component hierarchy. In the translation environment, ABAP packages are called collections. Every collection is assigned to a domain. The translation objects contained in the collection are also assigned to the domain. You can see a collection’s domain assignment in the worklist statistics transaction SLLS. You can see a translation object’s domain assignment in the title bar of the short and long text editor. The assignment of collections and translation objects to domains helps translators to use the correct terminology in each object that they translate, and to translate objects from the same area at the same time.

  Domain assignment is a feature of the SAP Translation Tools component (BC-DOC-TTL) that allows users to assign a domain to a text. A domain is a set of related terms and phrases that are used in a specific context. By assigning a domain to a text, users can ensure that the text is translated accurately and consistently. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To assign a domain to a text, users must first select the text they want to translate. Then, they must select the domain they want to assign from the list of available domains. Finally, they must click the “Assign Domain” button to apply the domain to the text. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When assigning domains, it is important to select the most appropriate domain for the text. This will ensure that the translation is accurate and consistent. Additionally, it is important to remember that some domains may not be available in all languages.
