• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SLWL106 - The object is explicitly excluded from translation ?

  The SAP error message SLWL106, which states "The object is explicitly excluded from translation," typically occurs when you are trying to translate an object (like a text element, program, or other development object) that has been marked as excluded from translation in the SAP system.
  Cause:
  
  Explicit Exclusion: The object you are trying to translate has been explicitly marked as excluded from translation. This can happen if the object is not meant to be translated or if it is a technical object that should remain in its original language.
  Configuration Settings: The settings in the translation management configuration may have been set to exclude certain objects from translation.
  Development Guidelines: Sometimes, development guidelines or best practices dictate that certain objects should not be translated to maintain consistency or functionality.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Object Properties: Review the properties of the object you are trying to translate. You can do this by navigating to the object in the relevant transaction (e.g., SE80 for development objects) and checking its attributes.
  Modify Exclusion Settings: If you determine that the object should be translatable, you can modify its properties to allow translation. This may involve changing settings in the object’s attributes or in the translation management configuration.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or guidelines regarding translation management to understand why the object is excluded and whether it should remain so.
  Contact Development Team: If you are unsure about changing the exclusion status, consult with your development team or SAP Basis team to ensure that the change aligns with the overall system design and translation strategy.
  
  Related Information:
