OMI Local language

Question

Is there a way to translate the OMI Login dialog/ AlarmApp buttons (eg Ack all) and texts (besides the column names) / OMI Trend to our local language (Swedish in this case)?

Hi Per! I hope you are well. As far as I know there are no way of modifying the login dialog box, this has been discussed in several previous posts and we would need some confirmation from someone at Aveva what's in the roadmap here. 
 When it comes to the Alarm App, this is also a challenge to make fully localized, and you have to custom build your ack options into Industrial graphics to work around the built in menu options. In some solutions we have created our own alarm component using a custom datagrid that subscribes to a hidden alarm window, just to open up for more localized features or extend the functionality. 
 You can also use the Alarm Toolkit to build your own component, but to be honest we have seen some issues here when using OMI that we could not work around, (such as having multiple subscribers / components open at the same time in the OMI App), but perhaps Aveva has resolved this in later versions. 
 I would believe that same apply for standard trend components, no official native language support in any menu options. But I do know that there is a Language Toolkit for the Historian Client Components, they can be fully translated into localized languages, but that requires you to embed and use these instead. (and have a valid license). 
 Just translated a few text here to showcase the feature 
 
 And I'm still looking for a good translation to Swedish for the word 'Rubberband scaling' 
 There are some additional ways that could allow for customization in the alarmclient that I have seen, but that quickly enters the more 'hacky' way of development and comes with a set of challenges since there are no documented ways to guide you forward. 
 I would be happy to someone here to prove me wrong or share some other ways of resolving similar challenges.
