  The SAP error message 42621, which states "Translation into the original language is not possible," typically occurs in the context of language settings and translations within the SAP system. This error can arise when the system is unable to find a translation for a specific text or message in the original language that is being requested.
  Causes:
  
  Missing Translations: The most common cause is that the translation for a specific text or message does not exist in the original language.
  Language Settings: The user’s language settings may not be correctly configured, leading to issues in retrieving the appropriate translations.
  Custom Development: If there are custom programs or enhancements, they may not have been properly translated or may reference texts that lack translations.

  Check Language Settings: Ensure that the user’s language settings are correctly configured in their user profile. This can be done in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance).
  Verify Translations: Use transaction SE63 (Translation) to check if the required translations exist for the specific texts or messages. If they are missing, you may need to create or update them.

  Transport Check: If the issue arose after a transport, verify that all necessary translation objects were included in the transport request and that they were successfully imported into the target system.
