Prepare an SAP Fiori app for translation

To go to the overview screen of the SAP Cloud Platform cockpit, choose your user ID at the top of the screen.

Choose Services and locate the SAP Web IDE tile by searching for web. Then choose the tile.

In the service description for SAP Web IDE, choose Go to Service.

To get started with the app, ensure that you’re on the Home tab (house icon) and choose New Project from Sample Application.

To add a project with the required files to your account, choose Approve Purchase Orders and then Next.

Accept the standard license conditions by choosing I agree and then Finish.

To be able to view the app in multiple languages and enable SAP Translation Hub to locate the text resources file, you need to enter some data in the .project.json file.

Expand the root folder of the application (sample.ApprovePurchaseOrders) and double-click the .project.json file.

Depending on your browser settings, you might have to disable the pop-up blocker to be able to open the file.

In this step, you’re going to specify the domain to which the texts belong (sales), the languages in which you want the app to be available (Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, and German), and the name of the resources file (i18n.properties).
In the .project.json file, locate the last square bracket (]) in the file:

Enter a comma after the last square bracket and choose Enter to insert a new line.
At the start of the new line, paste the following code:

"translation": {
    "translationDomain": "02",
    "supportedLanguages": "da,nl,en,fi,fr,de",
    "defaultLanguage": "en",
    "defaultI18NPropertyFile": "i18n.properties",
    "resourceModelName": "i18n"
  }

The result should look like this:

Save your settings.

To test the application with mock data from a local system, you’re going to need a special run configuration. To do this, right-click the root folder of your application (sample.ApprovePurchaseOrders) and choose Run | Run Configurations.

Choose the + sign then Web Application.

Now you need to do the following:

• In the File Name field, choose the application file name /webapp/test/flpSandboxMockServer.html.
• Under Preview Mode, select With Frame.
• Under Mock Data, select Run with mock data.

Once you’ve done that, choose OK.

Now you want to see what the application looks like by accessing it from an SAP Fiori launchpad. To do this, choose the green button shown below.

Depending on your browser settings, you might have to disable the pop-up blocker to proceed.

Choose the Approve Purchase Orders tile.

To make things look more realistic, the app uses mock data.
