Hi,

I'm trying to use localized strings from kendo.messages.pl-PL.min.js in my kendo grid, but attaching that JS file to my view and executing kendo.culture("pl-PL") doesn't make any changes in grid pager - "No items to display" remains English, not Polish.
How can I use localizations from kendo.messages.pl-PL.min.js? Is there any special way to make it work? Unfortunately, all tutorials mention cultures file only.

Thanks in advance,
GJ

Hi Grzegorz,

Including the messages file before the widget initialization should be sufficient in order localization to take effect. Information on applying localization can be found in this help article. Also you can review this online demo

Hi Rosen,

I found this post because i got a similar problem. I included kendo.messages.pl-PL.min.js with kendo.culture.pl-PL.min.js, i set kendo.culture('pl-PL'); and still i've got some messages shown in english, ex. DateInput shows format "day.month.year".

I opened kendo.messages.pl-PL.min.js file and figured out that some messages hadn't been translated yet.

Do you plan to translate messages thoroughly?

Kind regards, 

Paul

Hi Paul,

Most of the localization messages are provided by the community. Thus, the localization files may be incomplete and there can be missing messages for some of the widgets. The DateInput is such example as the messages for it are not defined in the pl-PL localization file. If you would like to have the messages applied globally in your application I would suggest including the messages for the DateInput to the localization file.

It would be great if you send us the updated version so we can add it to the components. This will be really beneficial for other users that are using localization.
