This can occur in various contexts, such as when trying to display or process data that requires language-specific descriptions or labels.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Language Texts: The most common cause is that the required language texts have not been maintained in the relevant tables for the specified object (indicated by &1).

  Maintain Language Texts:
  
  Go to the relevant transaction (e.g., SE63 for translation, SE11 for data dictionary) and check if the texts for the specified object exist in the required language.

  Use Transaction Codes:
