Environment

  • SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central 

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Employee 'A' triggers a workflow
  2. Employee 'B' receives a notification email
  3. The notification email has the improper Language Translation for the 'Event Reason' that is used.

Cause

There are many Event Reasons, and each individual 'Event Reason' has the ability to provide individual translations for each language that is active in the system. Each translation has to be manually setup in the system for event reasons.

Resolution

1. Navigate to Admin Center -> Manage Organization, Pay and Job Structure

2. Select “Event Reason”

6. Type your translation in the boxes.

     A. You may only have one or 2 languages you can provide translations for. This all depends on which languages you have active in your environment. In my example, I have 10 separate languages active in my system.

7. Click Done after you have input your translations.
