This typically occurs in the context of SAP Business Workflow or SAP Business Process Management (BPM) when you are trying to save or activate a workflow definition that includes language-dependent texts or labels.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the presence of undefined language targets in your workflow.

  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that all language-dependent elements in your workflow have a valid language assigned. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Open the Workflow Definition: Go to the workflow definition in the SAP Business Workflow or BPM environment.

  Ensure that you provide translations for all necessary texts in the required languages.
  
  
  
  Save the Changes: After assigning the languages, try saving the workflow definition again.
  
  
  Test the Workflow: Once saved, test the workflow to ensure that it functions correctly with the assigned languages.
