• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WSTRN032 - Language key &1 is not unique ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WSTRN032 Language key &1 is not unique
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to create or maintain a language key in SAP, but the language key you are attempting to use already exists in the system. In other words, the language key you are trying to define is not unique because it duplicates an existing language key.
  
  Explanation:
  
  SAP language keys are used to identify languages uniquely in the system.
  Each language key must be unique.
  If you attempt to create a new language key that already exists, the system throws this error to prevent duplication.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Language Keys:
  
  Use transaction SMLT (Maintain Language Codes) to view all existing language keys.
  Verify if the language key you want to create already exists.
  
  
  
  Use a Unique Language Key:
  
  If the language key already exists, choose a different, unique language key.
  Language keys are typically two-character codes (e.g., EN for English, DE for German).
  
  
  
  If You Intended to Modify an Existing Language:
  
  Instead of creating a new language key, modify the existing language entry.
  
  
  
  Check for Transport or Customizing Issues:
  
  Sometimes, inconsistencies in transport requests or customizing can cause this error.
  Ensure that no transport request is trying to create a duplicate language key.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction: SMLT — Maintain Language Codes
  SAP Note: Check SAP Notes related to language key maintenance if the problem persists.
  Language Key Format: Usually two characters, uppercase.
  Impact: Prevents duplication of language keys, which could cause inconsistencies in language-dependent data.
