Is there a way to localize entries of the navigational breadcrumb?

[kva]

I have the following breadcrumb:

    @(Html.Kendo().Breadcrumb()
        .Name("breadcrumb")
        .BindToLocation(true)
        .Navigational(true))

When I go to route /Directory/Users/Managers it will show entries: Directory, Users, Managers. Is there a way to localize them to my language?

Hello,

In order to make the Breadcrumb Items text display in your language (or whatever language you want), you'll have to check what is the selected language culture of your application on the server:

• In the Controller that loads the current View, create some ViewBag string variables that hold the desired Breadcrumb item text, you can use if ... else or switch() statements to check what the current selected culture is (here I'm using Spanish and English for example):

  using Kendo.Mvc;
  using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc;
  using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Filters;
  using System;
  using System.Collections.Generic;
  using System.Globalization;
  using System.Linq;
  using System.Threading.Tasks;
  
  namespace breadcrumb.Controllers
  {
      public class HomeController : Controller
      {
          public IActionResult Index()
          {
              if (/*! Check for a specific language culture */)
              {
                  ViewBag.item1Text = "Hola";
                  ViewBag.item2Text = "Amigo";
  
              }
              else if (/*! Check for another specific language culture */)
              {
                  ViewBag.item1Text = "Hi";
                  ViewBag.item2Text = "Friend";
              }
  
              return View();
          }
      }
  }
  

• In the given View, use the ViewBag.item1Text, ViewBag.item2Text in the Breadcrumb (in this example, my given View is the Index page): 

  @(Html.Kendo().Breadcrumb()
      .Name("breadcrumb")
      .Items(items =>
      {
          items.Add()
              .Type(BreadcrumbItemType.RootItem)
              .Text(ViewBag.item1Text)
              .ShowText(true)
              .Icon("home");
          items.Add()
              .Type(BreadcrumbItemType.Item)
              .Text(ViewBag.item2Text);
      })
  )

This approach will work with whatever language culture you set in the if () statement to be checked.
I hope this response is helpful. Feel free to contact us again if more questions arise.
