This typically occurs in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) when trying to send an email notification or document that requires a specific text in a certain language.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Texts: The email text or document template is not maintained for the language that is being requested. This can happen if the system is set to a language that does not have the corresponding text maintained in the system.
  Language Settings: The user’s language settings or the default language settings for the document may not match the available texts in the system.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the SAP TM system that prevent the correct texts from being retrieved.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Maintain Email Texts:
  
  Go to the transaction code SE75 (SAPscript Texts) or SO10 (Text Management) to maintain the missing texts.
  Check if the email text for the specific document type is available in the required language. If not, create or update the text accordingly.

  Review Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration settings in SAP TM related to email notifications and document templates. Ensure that all necessary texts are configured properly for the required languages.
  
  
  
  Fallback Language:

  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the email functionality again to ensure that the error is resolved.
