Symptom
System users receive e-mails in a different language to what they expect
"Image/data in this KBA is from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental."
Environment
SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting Management
Reproducing the Issue
- Trigger an e-mail to a User eg. Status triggered E-mail
- The e-mail arrives in a different locale to the user
- In the UDF (User Data file), the Locale is configured as expected for that user
Cause
Multiple users are sharing the same e-mail address in the UDF. As a result the locale selects the default language in 'Manage Recruiting Languages'
Resolution
Ensure all users have a unique e-mail address in the UDF. Please note that it does not take into account case sensitivity, i.e. sap.test@test.com and SAP.TEST@TEST.COM would be considered by the system as the same email address.
