Symptom
- On the Settings → Notifications page, the text "Email notifications are currently managed centrally by the administrators, so you can't modify this setting yourself" is always displayed in English, even when another UI language (for example, German or Portuguese) is selected.
- The behavior affects all languages.
Environment
SAP SuccessFactors HCM Suite
Reproducing the Issue
- Access the system.
- Open the account navigation.
- Select Settings.
- In the Settings window, select Notifications.
- Observe that the text "Email notifications are currently managed centrally by the administrators, so you can't modify this setting yourself" is displayed in English regardless of the selected language.
Cause
An incorrect message key was used for the notification text, preventing localization and causing the English text to be displayed for all languages.
Resolution
The fix for this issue is planned to be deployed on 2H 2026 release.
