This typically occurs when you are trying to import a transport request or a file that contains language-specific data, and the language of the project does not match the language of the file.
  Cause:
  
  Language Mismatch: The project you are working on is set to a specific language (e.g., English, German), but the file you are trying to import is in a different language.
