Pega 26.1 Localizations for Todo widget

[JakubA16839155 (Jakub Adamiak)]

Hello,
I’m working on localizations in Pega Infinity 26.1. Right now I’m trying to localize Assignment names in Todo Widget.
I tried adding Field Values for pyCaption and pxTaskLabel on @baseclass, -Work and Assign- classes and so far nothing seems to work.
Has anyone had the same issue? With Pega 25.1.2 these translations worked fine (at least for “Todo” Widget, not in “My Work” insight).
Best regards!

Hello @JakubA16839155

What is the exact version of v25 you are using?

May be in v26, Todo widget might not depend on one locale reference w.r.t the bundle concept starting from v25.

It might be a case that there could be multiple locale references involved in displaying the widget content. You need to find out the locale references in the bundle rule and add any additional entries using overrides localization rule. Refer to below link for more details

Exploring Localization Configurations in Application rule - Infinity 25

Introduction Localization configurations is a an option introduced in Pega Infinity 25 on the Application rule (extreme bottom) in order facilitate the developers to append/modify any additional labels without modifying the original bundle. [2.jpg] With 25 version, localization feature had a major change where all the field values are populated into one single localization bundle rule per language in comparison with 24 version where individual localization rules were generated per context (l…

I have an inhouse exploration application which started from v24 and now is in v26 and below is the Todo widget displayed for french language.

You can see that most of the content is displayed in french. For the missing ones, may be they are coming from data pages dynamically for which i have to create “datapage” localization rule and set the entries in Additional Text tab of localization wizard. We just have to identify the appropriate locale reference from the bundle rule and include the entries in the base bundle using overrides and run the localization wizard.

When i was checking v26 for your topic, i noticed few new things

1. Starting from 25.1.3, the entries populated as part of datapage localization rule will directly go into the bundle rule rather residing as a separate localization rule. Glad to see this improvement.
2. Starting with v26, we can have the Todo widget displayed as cards with worklist assignments segregated based on the case type and we can have the approval assignments also as a separate card. This is cool feature where user need not scroll through the huge list of assignments.

Below are some screenshots for #2

Having said that, there were still some known issues w.r.t localization where few static texts were lingering around in the OOTB widgets that were not getting localized until v25. I will have to explore if they are addressed in the latest version.

Hope this helps

Regards
