Is Localization for RadDocumentPane possible?

[Marcel]

Hi,

We are are creating an application that uses Docking.
The users have asked me if it was possible to change the descriptions from the docking panel "floating", "docakble" etc. to the local language.

I have tried to use the LocalizationManager (see the code below) but the GetStringOverride is never fired for the docking panel.

I hope that someone can help me.

Kind Regards,
Marcel

Sample application I created in order to test the use of the LocalizationManager.

<UserControl xmlns:telerikDocking="clr-namespace:Telerik.Windows.Controls;assembly=Telerik.Windows.Controls.Docking"  xmlns:telerik="clr-namespace:Telerik.Windows.Controls;assembly=Telerik.Windows.Controls"  x:Class="SLLocalisationDockPanel.Page"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    xmlns:radDock="clr-namespace:Telerik.Windows.Controls;assembly=Telerik.Windows.Controls.Docking">
    <Grid>
        <radDock:RadDocking x:Name="radDocking1">

            <radDock:RadSplitContainer radDock:DockingPanel.InitialSize="150,150" MaxWidth="600"
                    Name="LeftContainer" InitialPosition="DockedLeft">
                <radDock:RadPaneGroup x:Name="Group1">
                    <radDock:RadPane x:Name="Pane1" Header="Server Explorer">
                        <Image Source="../../Common/Images/RadDock/ServerExplorer.png"
                                Stretch="None" HorizontalAlignment="Left" />
                    </radDock:RadPane>
                    <radDock:RadPane x:Name="Pane2" Header="Toolbox">
                        <Image Source="../../Common/Images/RadDock/Toolbox.png" Stretch="None"
                                HorizontalAlignment="Left" />
                    </radDock:RadPane>
                </radDock:RadPaneGroup>
            </radDock:RadSplitContainer>


        </radDock:RadDocking>
    </Grid>
</UserControl>

Code behind for the page.xaml.

using System.Globalization;
using Telerik.Windows.Controls;

namespace SLLocalisationDockPanel
{
    public partial class Page : UserControl
    {
        public Page()
        {
            LocalizationManager.Manager = new MyLocalizationManager();
            LocalizationManager.Manager.Culture = new CultureInfo("nl-NL");
            InitializeComponent();
        }
    }
}

Simlified class that I have build in order to translate the descriptions from the controls.

using Telerik.Windows.Controls;

namespace SLLocalisationDockPanel
{
    public class MyLocalizationManager : LocalizationManager
    {
        public override string GetStringOverride(string key)
        {
            switch (key)
                {
                    case "GridViewGroupPanelText":
                        return "Sleep de kolom naar hier om te kunnen groeperen.";

                }
                return base.GetStringOverride(key);
        }
    }
}

Hi Marcel,

This is happening, because the menu in the Docking pane doesn't support localization yet. We will add this in our TODO list, but for now I could suggest you to remove the default items and add new items instead of them. The attached example demonstrates a way to do this and shows how to create a simple MenuCommand class and use it to simulate the default commands.

You will not need this code when the menu commands become localizable.

Hi Miroslav,

Many thanks for the fast reply.
I will use your solution until Localization is fully supported.

Thanks again

Hi y y,

The localization is yet implemented in the RadCocking control.

Hello,

Has this feature been implemented?


I have successfully localized other radcontrols with a .resx resource file by setting LocalizationManager.DefaultResourceManager to my own. Unfortunately I can't change the contextmenuitems headers (Floating,Dockable,AutoHide,etc) on RadPane. I have set those keys on my resources file but it doesn't change the headers.

Any help is appreciated.

Hello Manuel Felício,

The localization strings of the RadPane's menu are as follows:

LocalizationManager.GetString("Hide");
LocalizationManager.GetString("Auto_hide");
LocalizationManager.GetString("Floating");
LocalizationManager.GetString("Dockable");
LocalizationManager.GetString("Tabbed_document");

Best wishes,

With the help of a file *. Resx localization does not work. I tried to do the localization, as in the example of MenuCommand, but this class does not. How can I locate the inscription Floating, Dockable ...
