Additional Information
Changing the string format for different locales risks breaking workflows that expect the current format. Using 'W' for 'west' is a commonly used format convention regardless of locale.Workaround
Update the field values after the tool runs using the Calculate Field tool. With a Python expression type, the expression would look similar to !fieldname!.replace('W', 'O').
