Can't get localization to work

[Luke]

Hi guys, I've been trying to follow the localization example.
However, no matter what I do, I can't seem to get a grid to display anything other than english.

-I have a GridLocalization.de-DE.resx in my App_GlobalResources folder.

Here are some snippets of what I'm doing (a cobbled together hybrid of the example and whatever I have handy)
-In the view:

@(Html.Telerik().Grid(Model.TestField)
.Name("Grid4")
.Localizable("de-DE")
.Columns(columns =>
{
    columns.Bound(o => o.Id).Width(100);
})
.Scrollable(scrolling => scrolling.Enabled(true))
.Sortable(sorting => sorting.Enabled(true))
.Pageable(paging => paging.Enabled(true))
.Filterable(filtering => filtering.Enabled(true))
.Groupable(grouping => grouping.Enabled(true))
.Footer(true))

@{ Html.Telerik().ScriptRegistrar().Globalization(true); }

 

-In the controller:

    ...
    System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("de-DE");
    return View(model);
}

I've shown the parts I deem to be relevant, but there's lots more code in these files. If I'm missing something in order to make this work, please let me know. If what I've pasted should be working, then I know the rest of the code is breaking it somehow...

Thank you,
Luke

Sorry for the week-later bump...

Any help would be much appreciated; I've scoured the web and not found much elsewhere. Even on StackOverflow, the only relevant information seems out of date:
( http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2058087/how-do-i-localize-the-grid-from-the-telerik-mvc-extensions )

I thought I was asking a simple question...maybe I missed something, I'm not sure...
but, if anyone's done localization on a grid, please let me know if what I've shown should be sufficient, or if it's missing something, or if I'd need to post more info to be able to tell.

Thanks,
Luke

Hi Luke,

 Those steps should be sufficient. You can check this blog post if not already. You may also try setting the CurrentUICulture earlier as we do in our demos (check the CultureAwareActionAttribute.cs file).

 If you still struggle with this problem you can attach your project here so we can take a closer look.

Thank you, Atanas.

Knowing that I was breaking something instead of missing something helped a lot. It turns out the problem was that, since our solution involves many projects, the bin directory structure is different. The App_GlobalResources folder, while in the correct place for its project, wasn't being found during runtime.

Thanks again for your support.
Luke
