Hi Filip,

The RadFileExplorer can be localized in the same manner as the RadEditor's dialogs.

Localization is contained in resource files .resx which are within the product dll. There are three built-in localizations (English, French and German) which can be set through the Language property. For example to localize the editor in German set Language="de-DE".

To create your own localizations for the RadFileExplorer you need to create the  App_Global Resources folder in the root of your web application and copy the English resx file (which is in the installation folder) into it. The needed file is RadEditor.Dialogs.resx.

After you have copied the resx file, you must duplicate it and rename it using the syntax shown in the few examples RadEditor.Dialogs.<Your_Language>.resx .All resx file contain two columns: Name and Value and you can set the value to the string you want to show.

This being said, in order to localize the RadFileExplorer e.g for German you should go through the following steps:


  1. Copy the RadEditor.Dialogs.resx and RadEditor.Dialogs.de-DE.resx files to the App_GlobalResources folder
  2. Set the language for the RadFileExplorer as shown below:

     <telerik:RadFileExplorer runat="server" ID="FileExplorer1" Width="100%" Skin="Vista" 
                OnClientLoad="OnClientFileOpen" Language="de-DE">  
                <Configuration ViewPaths="~/temp" UploadPaths="~/temp" DeletePaths="~/temp" /> 
            </telerik:RadFileExplorer>

Hi,

The following strings will be added to the localization for the file explorer in this week's service pack release:

Common_GridSortToolTip - "Click here to sort"
Common_GridSortedDescToolTip - "Sorted desc"
Common_GridSortedAscToolTip - "Sorted asc"

Hello,

Please explain what you did and in what environment are you using the file explorer. Copying the .resx files to App_GlobalResources and setting the language property of the control should be enough.

In some cases, additional steps are needed to enable the localization. For example - in DNN you need to set the LocalizationPath property of the control as well: http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/dotnetnuke/skin-objects/dnn-radeditor-localization.aspx

Hello,

We tested this scenario and found no problems with it. Here is the file explorer declaration in the aspx file:

<telerik:RadFileExplorer ID="RadFileExplorer1" Language="ar-SA" runat="server"></telerik:RadFileExplorer>


The App_GlobalResources folder in the web site contains two files:

RadEditor.Dialogs.resx
RadEditor.Dialogs.ar-SA.resx

The first is the default English strings and the second contains the translated strings for ar-SA. The strings you need to translate are the ones starting with "Common_" - e.g. "Common_Refresh", "Common_CreateNewFolder", etc.

Best wishes,
Lini

Hello,

If you are using DNN, then you need to place the .resx files in another location and set the LocalizationPath property of the file explorer control to point to that location in the DNN web application - for example "~/controls/TelerikResources/".

For more DNN specific information, see the link I pasted a couple of messages back in this thread.

All the best,
