Hi experts!

My collogue found an error message below, when creating additional company with sample data of Contoso on the sandbox.
It seems that company name is too long, however I can create long name company in my environment, so I can't reproduce this error.
How can I advise to him? 
 
Look forward to your advice.

    Please create sample data in an English environment. . . . Some translation issues may cause this error.
    It is recommended that you install the language pack after creating the sample data.
     
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks.

    I believe it's a translation journal issue during creation of the company. The partner language module should not translate Journal name.
    Try to switch your language to english for the company creation.

    When exactly you are getting the above error ? It seems to me a message not an error.

    Hello,
     
    it is related to 1 of the Field like "No." which has character limit is 10, but in 1 of the Records the Length is of 11 Digits which is excess of Character Limit.
     
    That's why it shows an error. Kindly check which field had Excess Characters. The Field Name should be available in Error.
