[Solved] Localize Grid

[Pablo]

Hi,
We are looking for a way to localize Grid texts, such as filter texts and grid footer texts. For example, the "Displaying Rows" text.

We need to develop a culture aware application.

Could you please give us some advice?

Pablo.

Hello Pablo,

The grid is currently not easily localizable without modifying the source code. We have this logged as a feature suggestion and you can vote for it.

Check out the JavaScript-file ( telerik.grid.min.js ) and ( telerik.grid.filtering.min.js ) these two have all the text that is staticly defined for the Grid. You could easily replace the Javascript-file with a Server-side page that fetches the correct cultural text and replaces the default strings.

It's a little Hacky but it works.

And when you generate the columns you can do somewhat the same thing.

Hope this helps

Hi Filip,

We tried to create a localized version of the js, and load through ScriptManager localization features, but i didn't manage to get it work.
How can i replace it through a server-side page? Could you give me a brief sample or link?

It would be a great help for us.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

There's a ".ScriptFilesPath()" method on the Grid you can use to set the Script Files Path, however this will look for all the scripts in this folder. But if you combind this with the ".ScriptFileNames()" you can acheive the same result. However it is a Virtual Path so you might need to set up a Routing for the specific grid-javascript so that it catches the name.

Hope this helps!
