A language warning may be slowing the import
Check the import results before treating a language warning as a failed record.
Personal language settings differ
Message looks like
Warning: Your personal language settings do not match your company's language preferences. This may slow down the import of CSV data.
What it means
Your language preference does not match the company language preference, so NetSuite warns that the import may run slower. A difference between a subsidiary or parent subsidiary language and the company language can also trigger it.
Import context: General imports.
Check this first
Compare your personal and subsidiary language preferences with the company preference. This is a warning about import speed, not a failed record.

Bring the error and your file to a screen share and I will dig into it live. Thirty minutes is usually enough to find what is wrong and tell you what fixing it takes. Sometimes that settles it on the call; when it does not, you leave with a straight answer instead of a mystery. No cost and no obligation.
An import that keeps failing is often the first visible sign of a larger setup problem. Most of my client work starts exactly here: somebody mid-import, a file that will not load, and nobody on their side to email. If a migration or implementation sits behind this error, that is the work I do every week.
