  The SAP error message KLSI028, which states "Only one text description can be maintained for each language," typically occurs when you are trying to create or modify a text description for a master data object (like a material, vendor, or customer) in a language that already has a text description defined. This error indicates that the system does not allow multiple text entries for the same language.
  Cause:

  Use Different Language: If you need to maintain multiple descriptions, consider using a different language code for the new text entry.
