3608359 - Rich Text Editor (RTE) displayed only in English

Symptom

Rich Text Editor (RTE) not displayed on the configured language/locale, but in English.

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors HCM Suite

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Set the system to language other than English >
  2. Reach a configuration that contains RTE (it can be found in different areas/modules of the system) >
  3. Note that the RTE elements and menus are in English.

Cause

In the new RTE, elements/menus are displayed with both icons and labels/texts. In contrast, the legacy RTE displayed elements/menus with only icons.

Resolution

The localization of the elements/menus for the new RTE is necessary. This matter is currently under internal review and tracking of our Engineering team, as there’s a pending fix related to the RTE, which is a third-party tool. In the interim, RTE will display in English regardless of the language/locale settings.
