Localisation in Telerik controls

[Olivier]

Hi

i'm currently looking for a scheduler for our products. Your silverlight scheduleur seem to be what we need.

but, selling our products in france, we need a french version of the controls.

on the scheduler demo, there is some example of localized version. 

my questions is: is there a native localized french version? or should we translate all text ourself, and if yes, is it easy to do?

thanks,

sorry for my english.

Hello Olivier,

Unfortunately, for the time being we do not provide full support for all RadControls in French. However, there is no problem to create a Resource file of your own and apply it in your project. The steps you need to follow in this case are:

1. Unload your project from Visual Studio and then edit it - you need to correct the following line:

             <SupportedCultures>fr;fr-FR</SupportedCultures> . 

 Then after saving it, reload your project.

2. Go to App.xaml.cs and add the following lines to the method for Startup:

private void Application_Startup(object sender, StartupEventArgs e)
{
        Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = new CultureInfo("fr-FR");
        Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new CultureInfo("fr-FR");
        LocalizationManager.DefaultResourceManager = FR.ResourceManager;

        this.RootVisual = new MainPage();
}

3. Add the Resource FR.resx in the project.

And for more information about creating a Build that Targets a Specific Culture, you may use as a reference the following tutorial.

I am sending you a sample translation of the Resources of RadScheduler, which you can use as a reference. Please excuse us for the inconvenience caused. We would fill that gap in our Resource files as soon as possible.

Best wishes,
