Hi kendo-react devs.

I'm coming from Kendo UI for jQuery and am beginning Kendo UI for React.

I have localisation implemented in a .net9 + react project; however, I can't get the messages/default text in the kendoui react components (grid pager) to update when the language changes.

This is an overview of the project's localization implementation:

Multi-language support**: Danish (primary), English, Greenlandic
Frontend**: react-i18next with `da.json`, `en.json`, `kl.json` translation files
Backend**: Comprehensive JSON-based localization system with `ILocalizationService` + caching
Database**: Reference data with `LocalizedNames` and `LocalizedDescriptions` JSON columns
Language Detection**: `LanguageMiddleware` extracts language from query string (?lang=da) or Accept-Language header
Kendo UI components use default English - localization not implemented

 

Do you have a project/demo app with both react-i18next and localization of kendoui messages/texts (like "items per page", etc.)?

I really appreciate any help you can provide.

Morten

Hi, Morten,

Yes, the Grid Globalization article includes an example that shows how to translate the Grid using custom messages. It also contains a table listing all available messages:

I hope this helps, and please do not hesitate to ask if I can further help you.
