How To Fix TL137 - No import for language & due to code page/locale (see long text)


SAP Error Message - Details

  • Message type: E = Error

  • Message class: TL - Messages for language transports

  • Message number: 137

  • Message text: No import for language & due to code page/locale (see long text)

  • Show details Hide details
  • What causes this issue?

    You want to start the post-import methods for special texts (calendar
    texts, terminology, glossary) for language &V1&.
    Before this can happen, the system checks whether this server is
    prepared for this language. The system also checks whether the language
    environment can be switched dynamically on this server (see ABAP command
    <AB>SET LOCAL LANGUAGE</>).

    System Response

    The system established that the language environment cannot be switched
    to language &V1&.
    The language transport is stopped at this point.

    How to fix this error?

    The switch of the language environment may fail for the following
    reasons:
    The database codepage is not up-to-date.
    The codepage information for language &V1& is not up-to-date.
    Locales for language &v1& do not exist, or are invalid, at the operating
    system level.
    The profile parameter <ZK>zcsa/installed_languages</> has to be
    adjusted.
    If an error occurs, proceed as follows:
    RESET N1
    Find out the name of the server on which the language import job ran.
    Log on to this server.
    Check the language configuration using report <AB><ZH>RSCPINST</></>.
    Solve the reported problem there.
    If your system consists of multiple application servers and not all of
    them have authorization for language &V1&, continue the language import
    on a server that has authorization for language &V1&.

  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TL137 - No import for language & due to code page/locale (see long text) ?

    The SAP error message TL137 indicates that there is an issue with importing language data due to a mismatch in code pages or locales. This typically occurs when the system is trying to import language-specific data (like texts, messages, etc.) but cannot do so because the code page or locale settings do not match the expected configuration.

    Cause:

    1. Code Page Mismatch: The code page of the source system (where the language data is coming from) does not match the code page of the target system (where the data is being imported).
    2. Locale Issues: The locale settings in the target system may not support the language being imported.
    3. Missing Language Support: The target system may not have the necessary language installed or configured.
    4. Transport Issues: If the language data is being transported via a transport request, there may be issues with the transport itself.

    Solution:

    1. Check Language Installation: Ensure that the target SAP system has the required language installed. You can do this by going to the transaction code SMLT (Language Transport) and checking the installed languages.

    2. Verify Code Pages: Check the code pages of both the source and target systems. You can do this by using transaction RZ10 to view the profile parameters. Ensure that they are compatible.

    3. Adjust Locale Settings: Make sure that the locale settings in the target system are correctly configured to support the language being imported.

    4. Transport Request: If the language data is being transported, check the transport request for any errors. You can use transaction SE01 to analyze the transport logs.

    5. Re-import Language: If the above steps do not resolve the issue, you may need to re-import the language data. This can be done through transaction SMLT by selecting the appropriate language and executing the import process again.

    6. Consult SAP Notes: Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error message or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
