3824481 - Why does Custom Localization throw a character limit error for my translation even when the text is within the displayed limit?

The character limit displayed in Custom Localization is based on standard Latin characters. Non-Latin scripts such as Thai, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Arabic use a different character encoding, which means they take up more storage space per character compared to Latin text. As a result, a translation that appears to be within the character limit may still trigger the error.

The effective character limit will vary depending on the language used.

When saving a translation under Custom Localization, users may encounter a "The number of characters exceeds the limit" error even when the visible character count is within the stated limit. , KBA , CON-EXP-ADM-LLN , Localization , Problem
