Getting the SAP launchpad translated


Recently I created a new Launchpad customizing menu for use in a custom MSS teamview scenario.
The project was put on hold for some time due to other priorities and after I picked up the project again it was time to put translation to the menu and menu-items.

However this seemed not as straightforward as I thought. I kept trying to launch the translations from the LPD_CUST transaction itself but my menu items wouldn't appear.

Cause : Seemed my menu was not assigned to a namespace/package. So only option I had was to save it under another name during which assignment to a package was possible, as described in OSS note 1702081 . Once the menu was assigned to a package and a transport request the translation was easy since we could just select the contents of the transport as content to translate.

SE63 > Translation ABAP Objects > Transport Object

Transport Entry of object : R3TR LPDC ZHRW_PTLHRD00000008



The data dictionary table containing the launchpad short texts and translations is APB_LPD_SH_TEXTS. Key to this table is again namespace + textkey :
