Column title formatting

[mark]

What kind of formatting is implemented for multi language applications? The fundamental problem we are having is that different languages have considerably different lengths of column names. What's available to avoid the hard widths for column titles? 

 

Thanks

Hello Mark,

There are no specific formatting options for the column titles. But if you face issues with titles being too long in specific languages, you ca use the following CSS rule:

.k-grid-header .k-header {
   overflow: visible;
   white-space: normal;
}

which will allow the title to be displayed in two or more lines, instead of showing the default ellipsis ("...") when the title text does not fit the column width.

Here's a dojo example that shows two Grids, the difference between which is in the titles in two of the columns: https://dojo.telerik.com/ireqAFec

The CSS rule above is applied and as you can see the titles are visible and no column width is set, which results in identical column width in both Grids.
