• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FPUIFB078 - Translation possible for active objects only ?

  The SAP error message FPUIFB078 indicates that a translation is only possible for active objects in the system. This error typically arises when you attempt to translate an inactive object or an object that is not in a state that allows for translation.
  Cause:
  
  Inactive Objects: The object you are trying to translate (like a text element, program, or other repository objects) is not active. Inactive objects cannot be translated because they are not part of the active version of the application.
  Transport Issues: If the object is part of a transport request that has not been released or imported into the target system, it may also lead to this error.
  Development Environment: If you are working in a development environment and the object has not been activated after changes, it will not be available for translation.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Activate the Object: Ensure that the object you are trying to translate is active. You can do this by:
  
  Navigating to the object in the SAP GUI.
  Activating it using the appropriate transaction (e.g., SE80 for repository objects, SE38 for programs).
  
  
  
  Check Transport Requests: If the object is part of a transport request, make sure that the transport has been released and imported into the target system where you are trying to perform the translation.
  
  
  Review Object Status: Use transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary), SE37 (Function Modules), or SE80 (Object Navigator) to check the status of the object and ensure it is in an active state.
  
  
  Recheck Translation Settings: If you are using a translation tool or service, ensure that it is configured correctly and that you have the necessary authorizations to perform translations.
  
  
  Related Information:
