• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message C$661 - You created a language but no text ?

  The SAP error message C$661 ("You created a language but no text") typically occurs when a new language has been created in the SAP system, but no corresponding text or translations have been provided for that language. This can happen during the configuration of languages in the SAP system, particularly when setting up multilingual capabilities.
  Cause:
  
  Language Creation: A new language has been added to the SAP system using transaction codes like SE63 (Translation) or through the system settings.
  Missing Texts: After creating the language, no texts or translations have been entered for the various objects (like menus, messages, etc.) that need to be displayed in that language.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that texts are provided for the newly created language. Here are the steps you can take:
  
  
  Check Language Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction code SE63 (Translation) to check if the language has been properly configured.
  Ensure that the language is active and correctly set up in the system.
  
  
  
  Enter Translations:
  
  Use transaction code SE63 to enter the necessary translations for the objects that need to be displayed in the new language.
  You may need to translate various elements such as texts, messages, and labels for the new language.
  
  
  
  Use Transaction SE11:
  
  If you are dealing with custom objects, you may need to check the data dictionary (transaction SE11) to ensure that the texts for custom tables or fields are also translated.
  
  
  
  Check Standard SAP Texts:
  
  If you are using standard SAP texts, you may need to check if the standard texts for that language are available and properly maintained.
  
  
  
  Transport Requests:
  
  If you are working in a development environment, ensure that any changes made are included in a transport request and moved to the appropriate environment (e.g., quality assurance or production).
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on language setup and translation processes.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: SE63 (Translation), SE11 (Data Dictionary), SE78 (SAPScript Forms), and SE80 (Object Navigator) can be useful for managing translations and checking language settings.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address specific issues related to language configuration and translations.
  User Roles: Ensure that the user performing these actions has the necessary authorizations to create and manage translations in the SAP system.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the C$661 error and ensure that the new language is properly configured with the necessary texts.
