How to fix this error?

Inform your systems administrator.

Procedure for System Administrators

Go to the <DS:TRAN.SM59>maintenance of RFC destination</> &v1& and
delete the logon language.
Faulty data probably exists in the local read buffers of the field
names. Therefore, also run the <DS:TRAN.UGMD_DEL_BUFFER>deletion program
UGMD_DEL_BUFFER</>. Then, during the next read access, the field names
will be refreshed with, and displayed in the correct language.
