SAP S/4HANA Error 5184: Language Model Mismatch
Description
This error indicates that the language detected by a text parser in SAP S/4HANA does not align with the language expected or configured for the underlying language model. It typically occurs during operations involving natural language processing, such as data extraction, text analysis, or AI-driven insights, when input text is processed in a language different from the model's default or specified setting.
Error Message
ERR_TEXT_COMMON_LANGUAGE_MODEL_PARSER_LANGUAGE_UNMATCHED
Known Causes
3 known causesIncorrect Input Language
The text data provided by the user or an integrated source system is in a language that does not match the language configured for the text processing model.
Misconfigured Language Settings
The language settings within the SAP S/4HANA application or the associated language model are not correctly defined or synchronized with the expected input language.
External Data Integration Discrepancy
When integrating data from external systems, the language of the incoming text does not correspond to the language anticipated by the SAP S/4HANA text processing logic.
Solutions
3 solutions available1. Verify and Correct Language Settings in SAP S/4HANA System easy
Ensures that the language settings for the current user and the system itself are consistent.
1
Log in to your SAP S/4HANA system using the SAP GUI. Ensure you are using the correct client for your operations.
2
Navigate to transaction code 'SU01' (User Maintenance).
3
Enter the username of the affected user and click 'Display'.
4
Go to the 'Defaults' tab. Verify the 'Language' field. It should be set to a valid installed language in your SAP S/4HANA system (e.g., 'EN' for English, 'DE' for German).
5
If the language is incorrect, change it to the desired language and click 'Save'.
6
Also, check the system-wide default language settings. This can often be found in transaction 'RZ10' (Profile Maintenance) or by checking the system profile parameters, specifically 'zcsa/installed_languages'. Ensure the language set for the user is within the installed languages.
7
Restart your SAP GUI session or log out and log back in to apply the changes.
2. Check and Update SAP Notes Related to Language Handling medium
Applies relevant SAP Notes that address known issues with language models and parsers in S/4HANA.
1
Access SAP Support Portal (launchpad.support.sap.com).
2
Search for SAP Notes related to 'language model mismatch', 'ERR_TEXT_COMMON_LANGUAGE_MODEL_PARSER_LANGUAGE_UNMATCHED', or error code '5184'. Use keywords like 'S/4HANA', 'language', 'parser', and 'translation'.
3
Review the found SAP Notes to identify any that are relevant to your S/4HANA version and the specific symptoms you are experiencing.
4
If a relevant SAP Note is found, follow the instructions within the Note to implement it. This typically involves downloading and applying the Note using transaction 'SNOTE' in your S/4HANA system.
5
Ensure you have the necessary authorizations to implement SAP Notes. If not, contact your SAP Basis administrator.
6
After implementing the SAP Note, perform a system restart or a bounce of the relevant application servers if required by the Note.
3. Re-synchronize Language Data and Re-translate Objects advanced
Addresses potential corruption or inconsistency in language-dependent data and objects.
1
Identify the specific objects or areas within your S/4HANA system that are triggering this error. This might be related to specific reports, transactions, or custom developments.
2
Use transaction 'SE63' (Translation Editor) to check the translation status of relevant texts and objects. Look for any objects that might be marked as inconsistent or have missing translations.
3
If inconsistencies are found, attempt to re-translate or regenerate the language objects. For standard SAP objects, you might need to use SAP tools or consult SAP Notes for specific procedures.
4
For custom developments, review the source code and ensure all translatable texts are correctly marked and maintained in the translation tools.
5
Consider running language synchronization reports. Transaction 'SPRO' (Customizing Implementation Guide) might offer relevant options under 'SAP NetWeaver' -> 'Basis Administration' -> 'Translation'. Look for reports that check and synchronize language-dependent data.
6
If the issue persists, you might need to consider a more drastic measure like re-importing language packs or rebuilding language-dependent components. This is a more involved process and should be performed with caution, ideally after consulting SAP Support.
