1. A method to display localized process control objects, the method comprising: in response to a request to monitor a process control object associated with a process control system, selecting a device description file based on the process control object, the device description file including a first tag and instructions for displaying information generated by the process control object; selecting a set of locale templates based on a locale associated with the request, wherein each of the locale templates includes a reference to process control information; selecting a locale template from the set of locale templates by: determining which of the set of locale templates includes a second tag matching the first tag; identifying a type of the process control object; and matching the type to the locale template by identifying an indicator that specifies the locale template is configured to display the type of the process control object; and processing, via a logic circuit, the process control object for display by inserting portions of the selected locale template into the first tag in the device description file.
