Hello

We have updated a few projects pereviously written under SL3 with Telerik components v. 2009.3.1120.1030 , reporting v.3.2.9.1104 to SL4  v. 2010.3.1110.1040  reporting v. 4.2.10.1110, containing few reports. In the SL3 version, the globalization of the reportviewer worked o.k. following the (obsolete?, it's from 2008) KB-article (http://www.telerik.com/support/kb/reporting/report-viewers/localizing-the-telerik-report-viewer.aspx).

While the localization of the SL-forms and the reports (titles, labels, etc. in code behind) works, the reportviewer's buttons and tooltips do not display the localized values from Telerik.ReportViewer.WebForms.Resources.[culture].resx placed in the App_GlobalResources folder.

Checking the threads at runtime, all culture info (in silverlight AND Web-part) is reflecting the selected culture, but no go for the viewer... it does not adopt any of the cultures! Am I missing something?

Greetings
Rudolf

Hello Rudolf,

As noted in the Known limitations of Telerik Reporting forum thread, Silverlight and WPF report viewers cannot be localized. This request is logged in our system and we would implement the missing functionality for a future release. Unfortunately at this moment there is no specific time frame when this request will be completed.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Kind regards,
Steve

Hi,
I read the documentation (http://www.telerik.com/help/reporting/report-viewer-localization3.html), and I think I made all steps you described there. But I don't get the Report Viewer localized.
The approach to write a class that implements the Telerik.ReportViewer.Silverlight.ITextResources Interface instead worked for me.
But the other way (Resource files) would be more elegant for me.
Do you have a simple Silverlight Project as example for me, where you localize the report viewer with Resource file(s) ?

Best regards

Hello Hubert,

I've attached a sample project that shows how to localize the viewer via the resx files. For the sake of the example I've used the resources for the default UI culture. Should you need to localize it according to a specific culture, you should also edit your Silverlight project file and add <SupportedCultures>
</SupportedCultures>.

All the best,
Steve

Hi Steve,
thank you for the example, my fault was that I didn't include the Resource Files in the root of the Project, but in a sub folder.
Some items of the report viewer seem to be not localizable.
I've attached 2 screenshots.
Are there other Resource Keys, or will you make this items localizable in a future version?

Best regards
Hubert

Hello,

As the export dropdown contains only well-known document formats currently Telerik Reporting does not provide an option to localize it i.e. how would you localize CSV, PDF, Excel etc?

Kind regards,
Steve

If it is possible..
It would be desirable to translate some words: file, comma delimited, Web Archive.
When there could be a new version with corrections which were written by Hubert Frick?
Thanks

Hi,

As mentioned earlier this is currently not possible. If there is enough interest for localizing the export dropdown we would certainly consider it.
Unfortunately we do not understand your last sentence - can you elaborate what corrections you talk about?

Hello,

Thank you for the clarification. The localization of Preview and Print dialog would be part of the next internal build or service pack. There is no time frame at this point.

Hello,

These buttons are not localized in the current version and you would be able to localize them in the next release along with the other missing localizable properties mentioned in this thread.

Hi,

Thank you for those, we've added them to the list of strings that would be available for localization. Your Telerik points have been updated for bringing them to our attention.

Dear all,

I have a problem localizing the report viewer and it's content (my report).
So, I have used the attached file and can't get it work for me .. I have a different scenario .. let me explain:
I am using PRISM 4.0 which means I am loading the report xap on demand.I am using RIA class library as well.
I am able to localize all other application content instantly with no problem !!

So
First : Where should I place the resource file, I have tried the application folder, the web, ria class (client & server) side with no luck !!
Second: can I localize the content of the report using the normal .resx files or the same file as the report .resx file ?

Best regards

Did the changes make it into the latest build?  I'm still seeing the preview button and various other items still in English.

Preview
Export to the selected format (understand that options might not all translate)
Export
Tooltips for all of the buttons

Hello Jon,

This forum thread is about the localization for the Silverlight viewer, and not for the ASP.NET report viewer we see in your screenshot. It is possible to localize the ASP.NET report viewer for several years now. You can find its resx file in the bin folder of the installation (e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\Telerik\Reporting Q2 2012\Bin). More information on its localization is available in Report Viewer Localization help article.

Kind regards,
Steve

Hi,

When hovering over the export button all I get is an empty tooltip (small rectangle). Is anyone else seeing this?

Hi

I found the issue. The problem is the binding

<ToolTipService.ToolTip>
    <ToolTip Content="{Binding ExportToolTip}" />
</ToolTipService.ToolTip>

It should be TextResources.ExportToolTip

Hello Tomas,

That is correct and the issue already logged in .

The fix for the XAML resources will be provided in a consecutive release of Telerik Reporting. Meanwhile, you need to add the correct binding path.
