• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /UI5/UI5_REP058 - Duplicate SAPUI5 Translation-Key detected in property file &1 in app &2 ?

  The SAP error message /UI5/UI5_REP058 Duplicate SAPUI5 Translation-Key detected in property file &1 in app &2 indicates that there are duplicate translation keys in a property file used by an SAPUI5 application. This typically occurs when the same key is defined more than once in the same property file, which can lead to ambiguity in translations and unexpected behavior in the application.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Keys: The most common cause is that the same translation key has been defined multiple times in the specified property file.
  Merging Files: If multiple developers are working on the same project and merging their changes, it's possible that they inadvertently added the same key.
  Copy-Pasting: Copying and pasting entries in the property file without checking for existing keys can lead to duplicates.
  
  Solution:
  
  Identify Duplicates: Open the specified property file (indicated by &1 in the error message) and search for the duplicate keys. You can use text editors that support searching for duplicate lines or keys.
  Remove or Rename: Once you identify the duplicates, you can either:
  
  Remove the duplicate entries if they are truly redundant.
  Rename one of the keys if both are needed but should have different identifiers.
  
  
  Test the Application: After making changes, test the application to ensure that the translations are working as expected and that there are no further errors.
  Version Control: If you are using version control, consider reviewing recent changes to see who added the duplicate keys and discuss with your team to prevent future occurrences.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Property Files: In SAPUI5, property files are used for internationalization (i18n) and contain key-value pairs for translations.
  Best Practices: To avoid such issues in the future, consider implementing best practices such as:
  
  Regularly reviewing property files for duplicates.
  Using tools or scripts to check for duplicate keys before committing changes.
  Establishing a naming convention for keys to minimize the risk of duplication.
  
  
  SAP Documentation: Refer to the official SAP documentation for guidelines on managing translations and property files in SAPUI5 applications.
  
  By addressing the duplicate keys and following best practices, you can resolve the error and improve the maintainability of your SAPUI5 application.
