Machine translation usage is evolving fast at SAP. To help remove language barriers, SAP is launching further automatic machine translation features for some of SAP’s Product Support channels in the SAP ONE Support Launchpad.

Starting from November 2020, SAP is offering a new feature to automatically translate the last reply from SAP Support to customer incidents.

With this functionality SAP Customers and Partners around the globe can interpret context of the incident resolution provided by SAP in their native language capturing the same meaning, rather than simply translating words.


Faster than human translation services and just at the click of a button, customers can get fast access to machine-translated content in their preferred language – at no additional cost.


How does it work?

  • Within your existing incident, you can now use a machine translation feature to translate the Last Reply of your communication with the SAP engineer.

  • To use it, simply go to your incident, in the 'Last Communication' section under 'Details', click the 'Translate' button and choose your preferred language out of the ten available languages: English, German, Korean, Brazilian Portuguese, Spanish, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, French, Italian and Russian.





  • The original source language is automatically detected with the help of AI and can be changed through Translate > More Tools menu.

  • Note that only the last reply is translated and not the full communication.


Disclaimer: This incident content was machine translated for your convenience. SAP does not provide any warranty regarding the correctness or completeness of the machine translation. The official incident content can be found by switching to the original language.
