When I use a Lookup Select Box referencing the Incident table and select the category field:
It pulls all values from the incident.category field.
If you've localized categories (e.g., via the sys_choice table), it shows duplicate entries — like “Hardware” in English, French, German, etc.
These are not true duplicates but different sys_choice entries for different languages.
I Wants to remove duplicates from my lookup select box for category and subcategory variables in record producer and also wants to make subcategory dependent on category
I have created variable set-
1. Category
2. Subcategory
What changes do I need to make to achieve the goal?
Solved! Go to Solution.

With english user I was able to see other choices as well, so now I added this as reference qualifier
It showed me only English.
So you can add that in subcategory as well in the end for language handling
javascript:'inactive=false^name=incident^element=category^language=' + gs.getSession().getLanguage();
Subcategory Variable Config:
Output: English user category, subcategory dependency working fine
It should work the same if Language is Spanish
I believe I answered your question. I also attached the gif to this post so that you can pause and see

This solution I tried and it worked but we have another scenario on subcategory
Write a UI policy for dependency - if variable subcategory is selected as 'vulnerability' than u_vulnerability_severity_level field should visible on the record producer.
But trying to write UI policy for this, in the condition if we select subcategory is - it showing limited thousand record and not able to found our choice
