This typically occurs in the context of workflows or notifications where the system is attempting to generate an email based on a template or text that has not been defined for the selected language.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Text Elements: The text for the email notification is not maintained in the SAP system for the specified language.
  Incorrect Language Settings: The user or system settings may be configured to use a language for which the text is not available.
  Workflow Configuration Issues: The workflow or process that triggers the email may not be properly configured to handle language-specific texts.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Maintain Text Elements:
  
  Go to transaction code SE61 (SAPscript: Text Management) or SE78 (SAP ArchiveLink: Text Management) to maintain the missing text elements.

  Testing:
