Localize widgets

Currently, localization for widgets works the same way as it's done for AVEVA Work Tasks controls, where most of the key-value pairs are updated with a double At sign (@@) prefix and suffix.

Some key-value pairs do not require @@ but have to be defined following certain conventions. For more information about this requirement, see Define the key-value pairs in the localization text file.

To localize the widget

1. Check which text you want to localize. You can localize messages, names of properties, events, and the configuration file, which are defined in the <widgetname>.wjson file.

2. Create a text file for localization and define the necessary key-value pairs.

   Note: Each widget needs to have its own text file.

3. Place the file in the following directory path: <AVEVAWorkTasksInstallPath>\Locales\en-US\Forms2\Standard

4. (Optional) To localize for cultures other than English (US), update the web.config file and create a separate localization text file for that language.

   For detailed steps on localizing for other cultures, see "Steps to Localize AVEVA Work Tasks" in the Work Tasks Developer Guide, which is available in the Work Tasks help (https://help.aveva.com/worktasks/).
