System Response

Language-dependent texts are not transported if the language in which
the form scenario or process was created differs from the original
language that is assigned for the package. If no package is assigned,
the original language cannot be determined, which is why the
language-dependent texts are not transported. In non-SAP systems, texts
are transported in all languages, independently of the original
language.

How to fix this error?

Assign a package and choose Generate Entries for Original Language. Log
on in the original language and save.
