"no data found" localization

[frederic]

Hi team,

 

The noDataTemplate configuration option defaults to string "NO DATA FOUND."

It seems this is not localized in kendo.message.xx-XX.js

 

Please advise.

 

Best regards.

Hello Frederic,

In general, the localisations files are community driven and they are usually updated by the Kendo UI community:

http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/framework/localization/overview#contribution

The messages can be added manually by using the en-US messages file which contains all of the needed messages:

http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/framework/localization/overview#configuration-Create

I hope this will help to achieve the desired result.

Hi frederic

did you figure this out? Looking at the language files (https://github.com/telerik/kendo-ui-core/tree/master/src/messages) I don't see a handle for "no data found".

Hello, Morten,

This is where the no data template is located and what is the key for that message:

https://github.com/telerik/kendo-ui-core/blob/master/src/messages/kendo.messages.en-US.js#L371

Let me know if you need more details on this matter.

Hi Stefan,

Your link now contains the string: "pdf": "Export to PDF",

Can you provide a detailed example of what condition and what parameters need to be passed? For example:

if (kendo.ui.ComboBox) {
kendo.ui.Grid.prototype.options.messages =
$.extend(true, kendo.ui.Grid.prototype.options.messages,{

"noDataFound": "message" 

});

Thanks! :)

Hi, Vladimir,

There seems to be some misunderstanding in this thread regarding the messages.

The Kendo UI Grid has a "noRecords" property which can be localized by extending the grid messages, alternatively, if you are a native speaker in the language that is missing a translation, you can let me know the details and I can add them so they will be available thereafter:

if (kendo.ui.Grid) {
kendo.ui.Grid.prototype.options.messages =
$.extend(true, kendo.ui.Grid.prototype.options.messages,{
  "commands": {
    "cancel": "Cancel changes",
    "canceledit": "Cancel",
    "create": "Add new record",
    "destroy": "Delete",
    "edit": "Edit",
    "excel": "Export to Excel",
    "pdf": "Export to PDF",
    "save": "Save changes",
    "select": "Select",
    "update": "Update"
  },
  "editable": {
    "cancelDelete": "Cancel",
    "confirmation": "Are you sure you want to delete this record?",
    "confirmDelete": "Delete"
  },
  "noRecords": "No records available.",
  "expandCollapseColumnHeader": "",
  "groupHeader": "Press ctrl + space to group",
  "ungroupHeader": "Press ctrl + space to ungroup"
});
}

In case this is about the Kendo UI ComboBox - the widget does not use messages at the moment, but you may change the noDataTemplate as needed:

https://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/ui/combobox/configuration/nodatatemplate

Finally, I would imagine that in the case of multiple localizations, this may be a great feature to have - the ability to localize the dropdowns via messages. If you like, I can create a feature request on your behalf and allow others to vote for it.

Let me know what you think.

This would be indeed a great feature as we are having the same problem. We are using kendo UI JQuery and for react and the issue seems to persist in both versions of kendo controls  (plus a I haven't managed to localize some hover texts as well). 

I believe we should be able to localize all texts via messages. Otherwise it misleading. If you can, please open a feature request.

Hi Daniel,

Could you please proivde some more details about your scenario? Which text in which component you need to be localized?
