Localizing AVEVA Work Tasks Controls in InTouch OMI

By default, locales are provided for English (United States) at <Installation Path>\Workflow\InTouchOMI\WorkTaskApp\Locales\en-US folder. For other locales, create locale files in the respective locales folder, and change the regional settings of the operating system to match the locale.

For example, to change the locale to English (United Kingdom), create the locale files in the en-GB folder of the Locales folder, and change the regional settings of the operating system to English (United Kingdom).

By default, the locale of the object is set to English (United States).
