• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TL028 - No language selected for import ?

  The SAP error message TL028 ("No language selected for import") typically occurs when you are trying to import a transport request or a language-specific object without specifying a language. This can happen in various scenarios, such as during the import of language-dependent objects or when working with transport requests that include language-specific data.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Language Specification: The transport request you are trying to import may contain language-dependent objects, but no language has been specified for the import.
  Incorrect Transport Request: The transport request may not be correctly configured or may not contain the necessary language information.
  System Configuration: The SAP system may not be configured to handle the specified language, or the language may not be installed.
  
  Solution:
  
  Specify a Language: When importing the transport request, ensure that you specify a valid language. You can do this in the import dialog by selecting the appropriate language from the dropdown menu.
  Check Transport Request: Verify that the transport request you are trying to import is correctly configured and contains the necessary language information. You can check the contents of the transport request using transaction code SE09 or SE10.
