• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SOTR_MESS024 - Text is not available in language &1 (it is displayed in the original) ?

  The SAP error message SOTR_MESS024, which states "Text is not available in language &1," typically occurs when the system is unable to find a specific text or message in the requested language. This can happen in various contexts, such as when trying to display messages, descriptions, or labels that are supposed to be localized for a specific language.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Translations: The most common cause is that the text or message has not been translated into the requested language. This can happen if the language has been added to the system but the corresponding translations for certain texts have not been provided.
  Incorrect Language Settings: The user’s language settings may not be configured correctly, leading to the system attempting to retrieve texts in a language that is not fully supported.

  Solution:
  
  Check Language Settings: Ensure that the user’s language settings are correct. You can do this by going to the user profile settings in SAP and verifying the language settings.

  Review Custom Developments: If the error is related to custom developments, check with the development team to ensure that all necessary texts have been translated and are available in the required languages.
