Different UICulture and Culture

[Ole Oscar]

We have decided to move over to Kendo components.

The localization requirement is basically the same as standard .NET.

Culture for dates,numeric and so on.
UICulture for text.

The reason for it is that our clients must display amounts in currency NOK(nb-NO) since their data is NOK and not selectable, but they can select either nb-NO or other like for example en-GB as text.
In Sweden and other countries it is the local currency there, but the text is also UICulture is selectable.
Is that possible?

Hello Ole,

Kendo UI support culture settings according to the standard conventions as explained in the following help topics:
http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/framework/globalization/definecultureinfo
http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/aspnet-mvc/globalization

If you can accomplish what you explain using the standard .NET globalization mechanism with regular html elements, you should be able to do the same with our Kendo UI widgets. Let me know if I am leaving something from your logic out.

Hi,

If I understand you correctly the kendo.culture call is the same as System.Threading.Thread.CurrentCulture.
There is no need for System.Threading.Thread.CurrentUICulture since it is handled directly on the server side by html.
