This can happen in various contexts, such as when trying to display or process texts that are supposed to be available in a particular language but are not found.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Texts: The primary cause of this error is that the text IDs for the specified language are not maintained in the system. This can happen if the texts were never created or if they were deleted.
  Language Settings: The language settings in the user profile or the system configuration may not be set correctly, leading to the system looking for texts in a language that is not supported.
