  The SAP error message DS521, which states "Unable to analyze: Master language &1 is different from logon language &2," typically occurs in the context of data analysis or reporting when there is a mismatch between the master language of the data and the language of the user’s logon session.
  Cause:
  
  Language Mismatch: The primary cause of this error is that the master language of the data (e.g., the language in which the data was originally created or is stored) is different from the language in which the user is logged into the SAP system.

  Check Data Language Settings: Review the language settings of the data or objects you are trying to analyze. Ensure that they are configured correctly and that the necessary translations are available.
  Data Translation: If the data needs to be accessed in a different language, consider translating the relevant data or ensuring that the necessary language packs are installed and configured in the system.
  User Profile Settings: Check the user profile settings to ensure that the default logon language is set correctly. This can be done in the user master record (transaction SU01).
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or support for specific instructions related to the version of SAP you are using, as there may be additional steps or considerations based on the system configuration.
