I'd like to localize menu items and put their Text into Resource.resx file. Is it possible? How?
I'd like not to change datasource programmatically or to use database.

Hi archimede,

I've made a sample solution to show you how to change the culture of RadTreeViewContextMenu and RadMenu.

Here are the steps:

1. Set the Culture and UICulture attributes to the Page Directive to the desired culture. In my example it is "bg-BG".

2. Switch to design-time and choose Tools/Generate Local Resource. This will create a new folder App_LocalResources. There you'll have see a resource file called Default.aspx.resx.

3. Copy the content of the .resx file to new file with name: Default.aspx.bg-BG.resx. If you use another culture you should edit the name of the new .resx file to fit the new culture., e.g. if you want German Culture you should replace your file name with Default.aspx.de-DE.resx.

4. Set the values of the Default.aspx.bg-BG.resx file with desired names in desired culture, e.g:

 Name Value 
 
RadMenuItemResource2.Text 
Редактирай родител

You may find the full code in the attached .zip file.

Please let me know if this was helpful.

All the best,

I've seen your example and it works.

I've tryed to " Switch to design-time and choose Tools/Generate Local Resource" but I couldn't find the item. Where is it?

Another problem is that I have to specify in page directive the language. Is it possible to do the same programmatically instead?

Thank you.

Hi archimede,

It seems that "Generate Local Resource" is missing in the Express versions of the Visual Studio. However if your Environment is Professional Edition or above and by some reason this menu item is still missing - try the solution from this blog.

You can set the UICulture and Culture programmaticaly. See in this article from MSDN how.

Please let me know if this was helpful.

Ok, I've manually added the Resource file and overrode the InitializeCulture of the Page and it works.

Intead of ovveriding the InizializeCulture in each Page of the web application I'd like to do this in my masterpage file if possible. Is it?

Thank you.

Hi archimede,

To be able to set the UI culture and culture for all pages is to add a globalization section to the Web.config file, and then set the uiculture and culture attributes, as shown in the following example:

<globalization uiCulture="es" culture="es-MX" />

All the best,
