Is Localization Possible?

Help Action Center
1

Hi,
With Action Center tasks could be assigned to users in different Regions.
Is there any facility to support Localisation?

For example, a date value is to be display to a USA user as “MM/dd/yyyy” but when the same task with a date value is to be displayed to a UK user, the format would be “dd/MM/yyyy”?

As far as I can see, the User Profile in Automation Cloud has a preference for Language but nothing for Localization.

Any suggestions?

Hi @DavidMartin

UiPath Action Center does not support regional localization for dates. It only applies the user’s language setting from Automation Cloud.
To show region‑specific formats, the workflow must format the date before creating the task based on the user’s locale.

If helpful, mark as solution. Happy automation with UiPath

Hi @DavidMartin,

I think there is no relevant data available publicly to answer this. You can contact the UiPath support team for this.

Thanks

Thanks for the response @prashant1603765.
If the format is determined when sending the task to a “Category”, it effectively means all users who can action tasks have to use the same Date format.

Imagine a scenario where a task is Re-Assigned to a user who expects a different date format. The action is performed in Action Center, the task does not go back to the Code in the Robot to re-construct the data.

We would suggest to RnD deeper into a dynamic overwriting via Event/Javascript with the dynamic information of the browser user locals

Thanks @ppr.
That is an interesting thought.

As far as I know, Action Center is a “Closed” application. UiPath have not provisioned any opportunities for “Custom” code in the interface.

I think that means it would need to be some form of Browser extension as the only Dynamic ReWriting I have seen is with DevTools which is not going to be the scenario for business users.

Hi @DavidMartin

Action Center doesn’t support localization per user. The language setting only changes the UI, not date or number formats in tasks.

You’ll need to handle it in the process by formatting dates as strings based on the user or region before creating the task.

Action Center Form, that you model has events / Logics

So we would recommend to RnD into this direction a little bit more

Hi @ppr,

For Document Understanding / IXP - Task activities, the Forms are provided by UiPath. This is why I called it a “Closed” system.

You are right, I should have been clearer. I am well aware of the capability of building your own forms and using them with Action Center it was just not the scenario I was focussed on.
