Language Translation Shows Incorrectly for Background Elements Fields in Standard Validation Error Message.
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 Employee Central
Reproducing the Issue
- Change the system language to other language, for example Spanish.
- Search any employee.
- Go to Background Element Portlet (Example Education Element).
- Enter Education details with Years field above maximum length digits as per configuration.
- save it and then verify the standard validation error message in Spanish language.
- The validation error message is showing in correct language except the field “Years”, which is showing the Field ID where it should be “Años” as per Spanish translation.
Cause
It is expected behavior as per system design.
Resolution
- Currently, It is considered as a product enhancement.
- This behavior will be changed in the upcoming releases in near future where instead field label will be used based on language selected and displayed as per translation label for standard validation error messages.
