  Key Concepts: 
  Time characteristic is a component of the SAP SRD-TRL GLO-Translation module. It is used to define the time period for which a certain translation should be valid. This allows for different translations to be used for different time periods, such as when a company changes its name or logo. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Time characteristic can be used to define the time period for which a certain translation should be valid. This can be done by setting the start and end dates for the translation. The start date is when the translation will become active, and the end date is when it will no longer be valid. The time characteristic can also be used to define how often the translation should be updated, such as every month or every year. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up a time characteristic, it is important to make sure that the start and end dates are accurate. If they are not, then the translation may not be applied correctly or at all. It is also important to make sure that the time period is long enough to cover any changes that may occur during that period.
