Customize grid filter

[Vladimir]

A grid filter is defined in FilterMenu does not support customization as it always uses a hardcoded template.
More than that, the template contains an english text:
 
'<select name="logic" class="k-filter-and">'+
 '<option value="and">And</option>'+
 '<option value="or">Or</option>'+
 '</select>'+
 
This complicates localization.
 I suggest to:
 1. Localize text.
 2. Allow to provide a custom template.

Hi Vladimir,

Thank you for the feedback.

Indeed it is possible to localize the text of the filter menu controls and we have a code library project that shows how this could be done.
The filter template functionality is not supported at present - it would be hard to build the filter widgets from a custom UI. It is possible though to modify the menu appearance with custom JavaScript code and CSS rules.

localization would normally mean changing the text according to the user's locale.
This only seems to show how to change the labels to your own string. How do I change this dynamically to enable localization to more than 1 locale?

Ah, turns out that you can simply point to a function which returns a localized string.
So for example:
    filterable: {
                messages: {
                    info: getLocalizedInfoText(),
                },
                extra: false,
                operators: {
                    string: {
                        contains: getLocalizedContainsText(),
                    },
                    date: {
                        gt: getLocalizedGTText(),
                        lt: getLocalizedLTText()
                    }
                },
            },

Hello Martin,

This topic is from 2012 and is outdated. With the latest official release we provided a way for localizing Kendo widgets' messages through external file. For more information please check the this help topic and this demo page.
