Setting default startup language GridView version 2012.2.607.1050

[Jorge]

Hello,

I'm currently using version 2012.2.607.1050 telerik controls for silverlight, I have tried to change the language to Spanish GridView control, check the help http://www.telerik.com/help/silverlight/gridview-localization-setting-default-startup-language3.html but apparently does not work in this version, the same applies to a previous version silverligh 4 and if it works,

any idea how to fix it?

thanks

Hello,

I have checked how the code from the article is applied when using version 2012.2.607.1050. All is working fine. Please find the test project attached for a reference.

hi, we have similar Probolem.

After Upgrade to Q3 we have partial wrong Language. In our case we get wrong Date formats.

See my screenshot.

Hello Tobias,

 This is breaking change for the RadGridView. You should set the Language property to be the CurrentCulture and the GridView will be formatted based on it. You can set it like so: 

<telerik:RadGridView
    Name="clubsGrid"
    ItemsSource="{Binding Clubs}"
   AutoGenerateColumns="False"
    Language="de">

I believe that will help you.

What kind of shit is that?

Our Silverlight Programm is multilanguage, and now i have to hardcode the Grid?
Other Modules works out of the box correct (Use User System Language). This change is really bullshit.

Hello Tobias,

Maybe I was not clear enough in the previous post. You do not need to hardcode anything. Please excuse me for that.

As you can see from the GridView's Release Notes,  now the Culture used for formatting the GridView is the one specified as a Language for it or for the containing UserControl. We have changed the behaviour of the GridView concerning culture settings to be consistent with the ones for the DataGrid. You should set the Language property to be the CurrentCulture and the GridView will be formatted based on it.

Please check this help article to find an example on how you could set the Language property based on the CurrentCulture.
