• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message LQ043 - Display only - you are not entered as a translator ?

  The SAP error message LQ043 ("Display only - you are not entered as a translator") typically occurs in the context of SAP's translation tools, particularly when a user attempts to access or modify translation data without the necessary authorizations.
  Cause:
  
  User Authorization: The primary cause of this error is that the user does not have the required authorization to perform translation tasks. In SAP, users must be assigned specific roles or authorizations to access translation functions.
  Translation Role Not Assigned: The user may not be assigned to the appropriate translation role in the system, which is necessary for editing or creating translations.
  Not Listed as a Translator: The user is not listed as a translator for the specific language or object they are trying to access.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check User Roles: Verify that the user has the necessary roles assigned. This can be done by checking the user’s profile in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) or by consulting with your SAP security administrator.
  Assign Translation Role: If the user does not have the appropriate role, the security administrator should assign the necessary translation roles. Common roles include:
  
  SAP_ALL (for testing purposes, but not recommended for production)
  Specific roles related to translation tasks (e.g., SAP_TRN_ADMIN).
  
  
  Add User as Translator: If the user needs to be added as a translator for a specific language or object, this can be done in the translation management settings. This typically involves:
  
  Using transaction SE63 (Translation: Initial Screen) to manage translation settings.
  Ensuring the user is added to the list of translators for the relevant language.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed steps on managing translation roles and authorizations.

  User Training: Ensure that users involved in translation tasks are trained on the necessary processes and understand the authorization requirements.
  
  If the issue persists after checking roles and authorizations, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis or security team for further investigation.
