"File type not allowed" - no localization

[Heiko]

When using the validation configuration of Upload component and the user chooses a file that is not in the "AllowedExtensions" array, a short error message appears inside the upload component. While everything else is translated into German, this message is still in English. How can I provide a German translation to this?

Hello Heiko,

This message can be customized through the localization.invalidFileExtension configuration option. For the Upload's MVC wrapper it can be set like this:

.Messages(m => m.InvalidFileExtension("My Custom Invalid File Extension Message"))

Hello Ivan,

that helped. But maybe you can explain why this message is not localized while many others are.

Hello Heiko,

Only messages in English are officially supported. As mentioned in the documentation the localization of the Kendo UI widgets messages is community driven: "Currently, translations are not available for every language and some of the localization files may be incomplete. For more information on where to find the full list of available translations, refer to the section on contributing."
