2217450 - Picklist Translations Are Not Available in Languages Other Than English

Picklist values display in english or are blank when using other languages

SAP SuccessFactors HCM Suite

1. Go into Admin Tools
2. Navigate to Picklist Management
3. Download all Picklists

In the file, you will see that translations in languages other than the default language are either blank or displayed in English/the default language.

This can happen in the following scenarios:

1. The picklist is a custom picklist, and the appropriate translations have not been maintained for all required languages.
2. The picklist is a pre-delivered picklist, but the language packs for the secondary languages were added at a later stage.

To correct this issue:

1. Export the Picklist Management file, maintain the required translations, and re-import the file with the updated translations for your custom picklist values.
2. Download the Employee Central Master Picklists for your current system version from the Partner Support Portal (Employee Central MDF and Configuration Files). Copy and paste the required language columns for the languages enabled in your instance into your Picklist Management Export file, then re-import the file.
