Hello Henrique Duarte,

We are preparing localization features for our very next release. Those will be shipped  for the Q2 Release or earlier ( if we have SP2 ) .   Meanwhile there are different workarounds available. Just let me know what part of the RadGridView ( which text ) you need to get localized so I can provide you some sample code.

Hi Andrea,

Here is a bit 'hacky' way to change the groupheader text.

        public Page()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
...
...
...

                    this.gridView.LayoutUpdated += new EventHandler(gridView_LayoutUpdated);
        }

        void gridView_LayoutUpdated(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            GridViewGroupPanel groupPanel = this.gridView.ChildrenOfType<GridViewItemsControl>()[0].ChildrenOfType<GridViewGroupPanel>()[0];
            TextBlock captionTextBlock = groupPanel.ChildrenOfType<TextBlock>()[0];
            string newText = "Custom text here...";
            if (captionTextBlock.Text != newText)
                captionTextBlock.Text = newText;
        }

This is the fast and the ugly way . Alternatively there is a way to style the GridViewData control via XAML but I would not recommend that.  We are currently working on friendly and intuitive way for localization. We are targeting our sevice pack release (within three weeks)  to provide  a real localization API .

By the way what do you mean by localization of the sorting feature ?
