3311798 - Updating Key Value in Bulgarian (BG) Resulting in Question Marks "?????" (Manage Languages) - Recruiting Management

Symptom

When updating a key value in Bulgarian, the system unexpected changes the custom label to question marks.

For example:

Key Value: RECRUITING_READ_AND_ACCEPT_DATA_PRIVACY_STATEMENT

"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

Cause

The behavior occurs due to the file Unicode that does not support the Bulgarian characters.

Resolution

When importing the file into the system, make sure to select a valid Unicode, such as UTF-8.

A good approach is to open the exported file in Notepad++ and change the Unicode in the Encoding tab.

NOTE:

  • This behavior may happen to other languages as well.
