    Find out the affected language
    Execute report RSCPINST or RSCP0018 and check for any problems reported
    there.
    Check for the correct the language <-> code page mapping in table TCP0C
    Sometimes a language is defined as logon language (profile parameter
    zcsa/installed_languages) but the correct code page assignment is
    missing in table TCP0C.
    If you cannot find a problem in the I18n system configuration you can
    call the function module "SCP_CODEPAGE_FOR_LANGUAGE" for all configured
    languages (content of table TCP0I, record NAME = 'processed_languages',
    ACTIVE = 'X') in transaction SE37. The exporting parameter CODEPAGE will
    be empty for languages for which cannot be assigned a code page. Provide
    the correct language-code page mapping for these languages.
