Report Viewer Localization - Page of / File extension

[Stefan]

We have a ASP.NET MVC application.

We translated the report viewer as per info provided here to german: Localization of the HTML5 ReportViewer Explained - Telerik Reporting

Now the viewer still shows "Page # of #", and also the dropdown for export still shows english file extensions:

How do we translate these elements as well?

 

Kind regards.

Hi Stefan,

Thank you for reaching out.

Indeed, the 'Page' and 'of' words cannot be localized as they are hardcoded in the template:

This would be improved within a future release. The only workaround I can think of is to change the template and reference it from a local path:

• Providing Custom Templates for the HTML5 Report Viewer
• Templates Structure of the HTML5 Report Viewer

The options in the Export menu may be changed in the extensions Element of the Telerik Reporting configuration. They don't come from the string resources file. For example, with the following setting from the above article, the PDF will be listed with the title/description "PDF-Beschreibung":

"telerikReporting": {
    "extensions": [
        {
            "name": "PDF",
            "description":  "PDF-Beschreibung"
        }
    ]
}

I hope the sample will help. Let me know if you have other questions.

Regards,

Hi Ivet,

that worked. Thank you. :)

 

Is there a way, to have different extension descriptions at runtime? The reason I'm asking is, that we can toggle the language in our application, and would like to have different (translated) descriptions for each language.

Hi Stefan,

You can achieve dynamic localization of export extension descriptions at runtime based on the user's selected language. While the default approach is to set these descriptions statically in the configuration file, it is possible to update them dynamically with a small customization.

By overriding the GetDocumentInfo method in your custom ReportsController, you can modify the export format descriptions at runtime. This allows you to detect the current language and update the descriptions accordingly.
