Localize Messages in Validation Scripts

Localize a message in a validation script to make it usable with a specific language, script, and culture.

To localize a message in a validation script

1. Open an existing text file or create a new text file in the <AVEVA Work Tasks Install Path>\Locales\<culture>\Forms2\Standard folder.

2. Add a key-value pair in the following format: <message>:<localized text>.

Example

To display a localized message, say, Special characters are not allowed., when validating the Employee Name property through a script, add a key-value pair in an existing or a new text file in the <AVEVA Work Tasks Install Path>\Locales\<culture>\Forms2\Standard folder as InvalidEmployeeName: Special characters are not allowed.

Validation Script

if (currentValue==="%")

{

return new ValidationOptions(false,skelta.localize.getString("InvalidEmployeeName"));

}

Key-Value Pair

InvalidEmployeeName: Special characters are not allowed.
