WhatsApp error: "Message template language is being deleted"

You cannot add content in a language that is being deleted from a template. The wait is about four weeks โ€” or create a new template.

This message appears when you try to add or edit a template in a language whose deletion is still being processed: "New [language] content can't be added while the existing [language] content is being deleted. Try again in 4 weeks or consider creating a new message template."

Why it happens

  • A template can hold several language versions.
  • When you request deletion of one language, that language is locked until the deletion completes.
  • The lock normally lasts about four weeks.

Your options

  • Wait for the deletion to finish, then add the language back to the same template.
  • Create a new template with a different name if you need that language now.
  • Use the other languages of the template in the meantime โ€” they are unaffected.
Good to know: This is a normal WhatsApp restriction, not a fault in your account or in eGrow.
