In most cases this should be no biggie. Still, there are some particular situations when this can be really frustrating.

Let’s just say that you are working on a multilingual project and you really need to know what the heck is the German for “Commissioned Regional Sales wo. Externals”. Let’s also assume that Babelfish may sometimes have funny ways of translating such a corporate nuisance. I’ll even go further and presume that there is not a single trace of a dictionary-like repository in your organization.

The good thing is that an object has the same ID, regardless of its project source. After all, this comes naturally with the use of Object Manager.

Enter “Search by ID“. Now you can simply log on to the project source of your choice, type the ID of the object whose name in that particular project you want to know, et voila… There you have it!
