  The SAP error message S#379 indicates that you are trying to maintain a role in a language that is not the original language of that role. This typically occurs in the context of role maintenance in SAP, where roles are created and maintained in a specific language, and changes can only be made when logged in using that original language.
  Cause:
  The error occurs because:
  
  The role you are trying to maintain was created in a specific language (e.g., German, English, etc.), and you are currently logged into the SAP system in a different language.
  SAP enforces this restriction to ensure that the integrity and consistency of the role definitions are maintained.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to log into the SAP system using the original language of the role you are trying to maintain. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Identify the Original Language: Determine the original language of the role. This information can usually be found in the role's attributes or documentation.
  
  
  Log Out and Log In:

  When logging back in, specify the original language in the login screen. You can do this by entering the language code (e.g., "EN" for English, "DE" for German) in the language field.
  
  
  
  Maintain the Role: Once logged in with the correct language, you should be able to maintain the role without encountering the error.
