Localization

Updated on Jul 29, 2026

Use RadAIPromptLocalizationProvider to localize the built-in text and tooltip text in RadAIPrompt. Create a class that derives from RadAIPromptLocalizationProvider and override the GetLocalizedString method. Return the localized value for each string ID that your application needs to localize and call the base implementation for all other IDs.

Create a Localization Provider

The following example localizes all text exposed by RadAIPromptStringId in English:

C#

public class CustomAIPromptLocalizationProvider : RadAIPromptLocalizationProvider
{
    public override string GetLocalizedString(string id)
    {
        switch (id)
        {
            case RadAIPromptStringId.InputItem_Text:
                return "Ask AI";
            case RadAIPromptStringId.OutputItem_Text:
                return "Response";
            case RadAIPromptStringId.InputView_NullText:
                return "Ask or generate content with AI ...";
            case RadAIPromptStringId.InputView_GenerateButton_Text:
                return "Generate";
            case RadAIPromptStringId.OutputView_CopyButton_Text:
                return "Copy";
            case RadAIPromptStringId.OutputView_RetryButton_Text:
                return "Retry";
            case RadAIPromptStringId.OutputView_CopyButton_ToolTip:
                return "Copy the response to the clipboard.";
            case RadAIPromptStringId.OutputView_RetryButton_ToolTip:
                return "Retry generating a response.";
            default:
                return base.GetLocalizedString(id);
        }
    }
}

VB.NET

Public Class CustomAIPromptLocalizationProvider
    Inherits RadAIPromptLocalizationProvider

    Public Overrides Function GetLocalizedString(id As String) As String
        Select Case id
            Case RadAIPromptStringId.InputItem_Text
                Return "Ask AI"
            Case RadAIPromptStringId.OutputItem_Text
                Return "Response"
            Case RadAIPromptStringId.InputView_NullText
                Return "Ask or generate content with AI ..."
            Case RadAIPromptStringId.InputView_GenerateButton_Text
                Return "Generate"
            Case RadAIPromptStringId.OutputView_CopyButton_Text
                Return "Copy"
            Case RadAIPromptStringId.OutputView_RetryButton_Text
                Return "Retry"
            Case RadAIPromptStringId.OutputView_CopyButton_ToolTip
                Return "Copy the response to the clipboard."
            Case RadAIPromptStringId.OutputView_RetryButton_ToolTip
                Return "Retry generating a response."
            Case Else
                Return MyBase.GetLocalizedString(id)
        End Select
    End Function
End Class

Apply the Localization Provider

Set RadAIPromptLocalizationProvider.CurrentProvider before initializing the form or creating any RadAIPrompt controls.

C#

RadAIPromptLocalizationProvider.CurrentProvider =
    new CustomAIPromptLocalizationProvider();

RadAIPrompt aiPrompt = new RadAIPrompt();

VB.NET

RadAIPromptLocalizationProvider.CurrentProvider = _
    New CustomAIPromptLocalizationProvider()

Dim aiPrompt As New RadAIPrompt()
