Symptom
- Error when trying to upload a custom locale file in Manage Languages: "Editing the selected translation or translations would exceed your customisation limit of 1000. Increase the limit or discard unnecessary custom translations."
- The same error occurs when attempting to modify a translation in the UI.
- Occurs even though the Customisation Limits setting was increased above 1000.
Environment
SAP SuccessFactors HCM Suite
Reproducing the Issue
- Go to Manage Languages.
- Attempt to upload a custom language translation file.
- Observe the error: "Editing the selected translation or translations would exceed your customisation limit of 1000. Increase the limit or discard unnecessary custom translations."
- Alternatively, after importing 1000 labels, try to modify any translation in the UI and observe the same error.
Cause
A known product defect causes the system to continue enforcing a 1000 customisation limit even after the limit is increased.
Resolution
- Use a temporary workaround by operating with a maximum limit of 1000 custom translations.
- A fixing patch will be released on June 9th for Preview and June 11th, 2026 for Production environment.
