Localization of the GridView and loading saved layouts

[xclirion]

Hi,

we have a localization problem. We have done the localization of the grid view. But now we have the following behaviour: The user starts the application the first language. As requested by the customer, the layout of the grid will be automatically saved. Now the user changes the language. The application starts and loads the layout, and everything is translated into the new language except the columns, because they are read from the layout file in the old language.

What is the right strategy to deal with this problem?

Thanks,
Michael

Hi Michael,

Thank you for writing.

The localization provider is capable of translating only text which is defined by RadControls themselves which means that text such as "Click here to add a new row" can be translated by the localization provider. However, the columns text cannot because they are created dynamically and there is no way for the localization provider to know how many and what columns the grid have. In this case I can suggest you to subscribe to the LayoutLoaded event of the grid, check what is the current language of the application and the layout file and translate the columns manually if needed.

If you have any other questions or comments, please let me know.
