• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PVS0C812 - You cannot create translation versions in the logon language ?

  The SAP error message PVS0C812, which states "You cannot create translation versions in the logon language," typically occurs when a user attempts to create or modify translation versions in a language that is set as their logon language. This is a restriction in SAP to prevent users from creating translations in their own logon language, as it is generally expected that translations should be done in a different language.
  Cause:
  
  Logon Language: The user is logged into the SAP system using a language that is the same as the target language for the translation version they are trying to create or modify.
  System Configuration: The system is configured to prevent translations in the logon language to maintain consistency and avoid conflicts.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Change Logon Language:
  
  Log out of the SAP system.
  Log back in using a different language that is not the same as the target translation language you are trying to create or modify.
  
  
  
  Use a Different User:
  
  If you have access to another user account that has a different logon language, you can use that account to create or modify the translation version.
  
  
  
  Check Language Settings:
  
  Ensure that the language you are trying to create translations for is indeed available in the system and is not restricted.
  
  
  
  Consult with SAP Basis Team:
  
  If you are unable to change your logon language or if the issue persists, consult with your SAP Basis or system administrator. They may need to check the system settings or user roles to ensure everything is configured correctly.
