How do I translate the Pager in a grid?

[Paul Clark]

Hello

I have been treking through the forums and documentation to find out how to do this and I am throughly confused!
My Website has a flag that can be changed and when this happens we re-load all the text on the site files.
I can transate the column headers by doing something like this:

 

RadGrid1.Columns[3].HeaderText = Translations.Common.ColumnName

  

 

 

 

but cannot work out how to do the pager.

I am using the default pager, (ie I haven't set it to anything specific) currently the pager shows
 |< < 12 > >| page size <a dropdown>      .......  11 items in 2 pages

Can I just pass the culture to the grid and it will do it automatically? or is that just wishful thinking and I have to do it my self? Ideally I don't want a custom pager, but I don't get how to get access to the bits to be able to translate the default one?

Thanks in advance

Hello Paul,

You can try accessing the controls from the code behind and then change the texts respectively:
c#:

 protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Item is GridPagerItem)
        {
            GridPagerItem pager = (GridPagerItem)e.Item;
            Label lbl = (Label)pager.FindControl("ChangePageSizeLabel");
            lbl.Text = "CustomText1";

            RadGrid1.PagerStyle.PagerTextFormat = "{4} CustomText {2} CustomText {3} CustomText {5}";
        }
    }

Thanks
Princy.

Thanks Princy!

Do you know is this documented anywhere? So I know what the {x} 's are for incase I want to rearrange it?
