● It is recommended to switch ProcessMaker to the same language when creating and editing processes, since ProcessMaker DOES NOT support multilingual in tasks and their respective descriptions. For example, if production users will be using ProcessMaker in French, then design their processes with the ProcessMaker interface switched to French.
