• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WK225 - Texts from table < & > do not exist in the logon language ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WK225 - Texts from table < & > do not exist in the logon language
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when SAP tries to display texts (such as workflow container element descriptions, task descriptions, or other workflow-related texts) from a specific table, but the texts are not available in the user's logon language. The placeholder < & > in the message typically shows the table name from which the text is missing.
  In other words, the workflow engine or related component attempts to fetch text entries in the current logon language, but those entries are missing or not maintained in that language.
  
  Explanation:
  
  SAP stores texts in various tables with language-dependent entries.
  If the text for the current user’s logon language is missing, SAP cannot display the description or text properly.
  This is common in workflows, where container elements or task descriptions are language-dependent.
  The system falls back to the logon language, and if no entry exists, this error is raised.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Table and Language Entries:
  
  Identify the table mentioned in the error message (e.g., TSTCT, TBTCO, or any workflow-related text table).
  Use transaction SE16/SE16N or SE11 to view the entries in that table.
  Check if entries exist for the user’s logon language (e.g., EN, DE, FR).
  
  
  
  Maintain Missing Texts:
  
  If texts are missing for the logon language, maintain them using the appropriate transaction or tool.
  For workflow texts, you can use transaction SWI1 (Workflow Logs) or SWDD (Workflow Builder) to check and maintain texts.
  Alternatively, use transaction SE63 (Translation) to translate or maintain texts in the required language.
  
  
  
  Add or Translate Texts:
  
  If the texts are missing, add them manually or translate from an existing language.
  For standard SAP texts, you may need to check if the language pack is installed or if translations are available.
  
  
  
  Check User Logon Language:
  
  Verify the user’s logon language (SU01 ? Defaults tab).
  If the user’s logon language is unusual or not supported, consider changing it to a language with maintained texts.
  
  
  
  Transport Changes:
  
  If you maintain texts in a development system, ensure they are transported to quality and production systems.
