Reproducing the Issue

  1. Log in to system

The tag is a pre-defined tag provided by SuccessFactors

Resolution

The pre-defined tags provided by SuccessFactors (Core, Critical, and Trending) cannot be modified via UI, as shown in the replication steps. More information is in Using Talent Intelligence Hub - Creating a Tag.

But, if you do need to change the translations for pre-defined tags, you can import Tag Text (using "Talent Intelligence Hub Tag Text Import") via Integration Center to update translations. You may refer to the guide here for how to import TIH entities: Importing Entities | SAP Help Portal
