  The SAP error message STRALAN_SPAM122 indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorization to import a language into the SAP system. This typically occurs when attempting to add a new language or import language-specific data using the Software Update Manager (SUM) or the SAP Language Import tool.

  Common roles that may include language import authorizations are SAP_ALL (not recommended for production environments) or specific roles related to system administration.
  
  
  
  Use Transaction SU01:
  
  Go to transaction SU01 (User Maintenance).
  Enter the user ID and click on the "Roles" tab.
  Add the necessary roles that include language import authorizations.
  
  
  
  Check Profile Parameters:
