Hello, To be more precise the problem with German documentation is a different one: We are part of the SAP documentation development process. This process is ruled by the releases for SAP solutions. Our SAP DB does not fit exactly in this process any more since we write not only for SAP customers but also for the Open Source Community. We try to react as quickly as possible to all development changes and inform open source developers accordingly. Of course, these changes and their affects to SAP applications need time to be implemented and only then become interesting for SAP customers. We therefore produce German and English documentation for all official SAP releases. In between we produce additional sets of documentation outside the SAP documentation development process. It requires that a very small team of documentation writers has to get informed about the changes, document them, send them for translation, correct them, request the production and publish a steadily increasing number of documents in a very limited time. In order to reduce the update intervals to a minimum, we decided to concentrate on the English versions as long as they are produced in between of SAP releases. But (now the good notice!) there is German documentation on SAP DB available. You find it at http://help.sap.com (and you find the English version there, too). But at help.sap.com the documentation is not updated as often as at www.sapdb.org (because of: see above). And now the b e s t notice of all: The next SAP documentation release will approximately coincide with our next documentation update at ww.sapdb.org. So in spring/summer this year you will find at help.sap.com the German version of the documentation then published at sapdb.org in English.
Hope this helps a bit.... Best regards Marina Montag SAP DB Team SAP Labs Berlin -----Original Message----- From: Zabach, Elke Sent: Dienstag, 21.

No and yes, we (germans) write in german because then we are sure to express what we want to express. But this is not done in a way to be made available on the web. > Can they be made available on the web? No, we will not do it.
