Localization

Localize a custom control name, property, and description to make it usable with a specific language, script, and culture.

To localize a custom control name in Forms Designer Toolbox

• Add a new key-value pair in a custom text file and place the file in the <AVEVA Work Tasks Install Path>\Locales\<culture>\Forms2 folder in the following format: FormNGFControl<namespace.classname>:localized Name.

  For example, to localize the Masked Input Control control name, code as follows:

  FormNGFControlFormCustomControl.MaskedInputControl:Masked Input

Note: Replace namespace.classname with the custom control namespace and class name.

To localize a custom property name and description

• Add a new key-value pair in a custom text file and place the file in the <AVEVA Work Tasks Install Path>\Locales\<culture>\Forms2 folder in the following format: Form<property name>Property:localized Name and Form<property name>PropertyDescription:localized Description.

  For example, to localize the name and description of the Retain Selected Value property, code as:

  FormRetainSelectedValueProperty:Retain Selected Value

  FormRetainSelectedValuePropertyDescription:Keep selected value regardless of the current parameter values.
