This error prompts as an indication to inform you that if the same code/program/object is used for multiple languages then it will create a problem for translating the texts in other language..

most of the times we simply ignore it, as we use the progr/object for a single language at a time..

As new SAP systems are made Unicode enabled, there was an issue with translations done using ABAP code. Issue was with any Programs that uses TRANSLATE <string> TO UPPERCASE statement in a multi lingual environment. You might get a warning as dangerous use of TRANSLATE in Multi lingual environment. For this either we can use SET LOCALE LANGUAGE language, before the statement or use the Function Module AIPC_CONVERT_TO_UPPERCASE with the language parameter.
