Changing Default Language Labels in SuccessFactors – CodeBot Guidance

Summary

When working with translations and labels in SAP SuccessFactors, it's important to understand how CodeBot for SAP SuccessFactors validates translations. Changing a label in the default language via CodeBot can cause validation failures and highlight other translations incorrectly as errors.

This article explains the issue and provides recommended best practices.

Problem Statement:

When the label for the default language is changed using CodeBot for SAP SuccessFactors, the following issues may occur:

• Processing Status shows as "Failed"
• All other translations are highlighted in red, regardless of whether they were changed or not.
• The validation process for translations fails, even for unchanged entries.

✅ Recommendation

Do Not change default language labels using CodeBot for SAP SuccessFactors.

To ensure successful validation and deployment:

• Avoid modifying default language labels (e.g., English US and English UK) via CodeBot

·       If you need to modify a default label, make the change directly in the original module's workbook instead.
