Online Text Repository (OTR)

Various ways to make the literals translatable in WDA environment are:
1. Online text repository (OTR) 2. Text elements in an ABAP class 3. ABAP dictionary

OTR is a central storage area for texts that can be used not only in a Web Dynpro context but also in BSPs, classes and normal ABAP reports

Different kinds of texts that can be defined in the OTR are

Long texts: Do not have a limit on their length. They can be used only once. If the same long text has to be used again, it has to be rewritten in the original language again and translated again Alias texts (Short Texts): Limited to 255 characters. They can be reused and they have to be translated only once. In the web Dynpro context only OTR alias texts should be used
