Microsoft documentation

Diagnostic interpretation of WS_E_NO_TRANSLATION_AVAILABLE

WS_E_NO_TRANSLATION_AVAILABLE has the HRESULT value 0x803D0009. AllStat records the condition as “The information was not available in the specified language.”. For WS_E_NO_TRANSLATION_AVAILABLE, in practice, interpret that wording at the boundary owned by the Windows component or COM interface that returned the HRESULT, rather than treating the value as a generic Windows message.

Evidence to capture for WS_E_NO_TRANSLATION_AVAILABLE

Record the exact COM method or Windows API, its input object, the calling thread, and the full 0x803D0009 value before a wrapper converts it to an exception or Boolean result.
Capture any IErrorInfo text, activity identifier, event-log entry, and subsystem trace that mentions WS_E_NO_TRANSLATION_AVAILABLE or the ws / translation / available operation.
For WS_E_NO_TRANSLATION_AVAILABLE, check the documented return contract of the specific API because the same HRESULT can require different recovery in different interfaces.

Retry and recovery for WS_E_NO_TRANSLATION_AVAILABLE

Retry WS_E_NO_TRANSLATION_AVAILABLE only when the owning API documents a transient state or after the condition described as “The information was not available in the specified language.” has changed. For WS_E_NO_TRANSLATION_AVAILABLE, configuration, policy, format, and authorization failures normally require correction first; an immediate loop can hide the original call site and add secondary errors.
