Resolution

Families and Roles in JDM1.0 do not support multiple languages. They can only have 1 language in JDM1.0

This is the expected behavior for importing Families and Roles.

Job Profile Builder (JPB or JDM2.0) can support multiple locales for Families and Roles. But for this, we need to enable "JDM2.0" in Provisioning, and migrate all the data from JDM1.0 to JPB.

Customer can choose whether they need to use JDM1.0 or JDM2.0. They can discuss this with their CSM or Partners.
