3464629 - Missing Set of Books Description In Another Language Rather Than English

Symptom

Missing Set of Books Description when accessing the system with another language rather than English (for example French, German, Italian). 

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Log in with a language other than English. 
  2. Go to the General Ledger work center.
  3. Go to Sets of Books and Assigned Companies subview.
  4. Unable to see the Set of Books Description.  

Cause

When we check the master data of the Set of Books activity in the backend, we can see that the Master Language for this activity is set as "EN" (English), this is ByDesign standard. So, if the user has the description in English logon, this means that when the mentioned Set of Book Description was created, it was done with English as the logon language.

If we check the Set of Books activity in another language, we can see that the Set of Books Description was not maintained. The system can't translate automatically the description.
