  • What causes this issue?

    When you create an object in the ABAP/4 Development Workbench, the
    system checks the original language of the texts. This is usually the
    same as the logon language. Texts in the original language are always
    maintained with the object itself. Texts in all other languages can
    only be maintained with the translation tools.

  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ET009 - The object will be created in the original language & ?

    The SAP error message ET009 indicates that an object (such as a report, program, or other development object) is being created in the original language of the SAP system, which is typically the language in which the system was installed. This message usually appears when you are trying to create or modify an object in a different language than the original language of the SAP system.

    Cause:

    1. Language Settings: The user is trying to create or modify an object in a language that is not the original language of the SAP system.
    2. System Configuration: The SAP system is configured to default to the original language for certain operations, especially in development environments.

    Solution:

    1. Change Language Settings: If you want to create the object in a different language, you can change your user profile settings to the desired language. However, note that the object will still be created in the original language.
    2. Create in Original Language: Accept the message and proceed to create the object in the original language. You can later translate the object into other languages if needed.
    3. Translation Tools: Use SAP's translation tools (like SE63) to translate the object into the desired language after it has been created.
    4. Check User Profile: Ensure that your user profile is set up correctly for the languages you need to work with.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes: You may use transaction codes like SE80 (Object Navigator) or SE38 (ABAP Editor) to create or modify objects.
    • Language Settings in SAP: You can check and change your language settings in the user profile (transaction SU01) or during the logon process.
    • Translation Workbench: Familiarize yourself with the Translation Workbench (transaction SE63) for managing translations of objects in SAP.

    If you continue to experience issues or if the message appears inappropriately, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis or development team for further assistance.
