SAP Online Text Repository (OTR): SAP OTR Tcodes, Tables, Function and Translation
What’s OTR in SAP ?
“The Online Text Repository (OTR) is a central storage location for texts, and provides services for editing and managing these texts.
The main task of the OTR is to support the creation and translation of texts. The OTR makes translation of texts possible. Terminology is more uniform and texts can easily be reused.
This means texts are of high quality right from the start. This also considerably reduces costs for text corrections, such as for spelling mistakes, inconsistent terminology, incorrect style, and so on. Terminology changes can be done from a central location.
The object itself is separated from the texts. Any changes to the object do not influence the texts, and the other way round. This means you can translate the texts independently of the object.” (1)
The OTR is currently supported by the following applications:
- Web Dynpro for ABAP
- Business Server Pages
- Exception Builder
- HTTP Services
- Web Services
- Enhancement Tools
SAP OTR Tcodes
The main OTR Tcodes in SAP are:
- SOTR_EDIT
- SE63_OTR
SOTR_EDIT
The transaction code SOTR_EDIT is the Editor for OTR Texts. You can Display, Create and Change OTR Objects using this tcode.
To keep it simple, here a screenshot of what the SOTR_EDIT Transaction looks like:
SE63/ SE63_OTR
To just remember that the Standard SAP Transaction SE63 is the main transaction for Translation Editor.
To find OTR objects, navigate through
Other Texts > Object Type Selection (Object Groups) > A5 User Interface Texts > LOTR OTR Long Texts

Let’s focus on the main tables SOTR_HEAD and SOTR_TEXT.
SOTR_HEAD Table
The table SOTR_HEAD is Header Table for OTR Texts.
Note that the key for SOTR_HEAD is the CONCEPT ( Key for Logical Object in OTR ).
The List of fields of SOTR_HEAD are:
- CONCEPT : Key for Logical Object in OTR
- PAKET : Package
- CREA_LAN : Language Key
- TRALA_TYPE : OTR Translation Class
- ALIAS_NAME : Unique Alias Name for OTR Concept

SAP OTR Translation
As OTR is finally a text, SAP offers a standard way to Internatinalize the text. Find also a custom ABAP report usefull to translate OTRs in an WebDynPro ABAP.
