2485422 - Number of characters of Family/Role name are different in English, Russian, Japanese, Chinese and korean locale

The number of characters in Family/Role name are not the same in English, Russian, Japanese, Chinese and korean locale

• SAP SuccessFactors Job Profile Builder
• SAP SuccessFactors Talent Intelligence Hub

1. The Family/Role name can contain max-length of 128 characters in english locale (en_US)

2. In Russian locale the Family/Role name allows only 64 characters

• The issue is not about the number of characters in different languages. It is the number of bytes taken by different character set.
• Family/Role are generic object entities and the maximum allowed value for this column is 128 bytes.
• For English characters, number of bytes used for each character is 1 so we can type up to 128 characters (i.e.fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff).
• But for Russian characters, each character is taking 2 bytes so the maximum characters that are allowed is : 128/2 = 64 (i.e. Ef (Cyrillic) : ф)
• This is a limitation of the system of not allowing more than 128 bytes as the name

NOTE: Some languages have double byte characters e.g., Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Korean.
