Localization
To localize RadMarkupDialog to display control text and messages in a specific language:
-
All required classes for localization are defined in Telerik.WinControls.UI.Localization namespace.
-
Start by creating a descendant of the RadMarkupEditorLocalizationProvider class.
-
Override the GetLocalizedString(string id) method and provide a translation for the label and user messages. If a translation is not provided, the default value will be returned. This behavior is guaranteed by the call of the base GetLocalizedString method in the default clause of the switch statement in the example.
Below is a sample implementation of an English localization provider:
Localizing RadGridView Strings
class MyRadMarkupEditorLocalizationProvider : RadMarkupEditorLocalizationProvider
{
public override string GetLocalizedString(string id)
{
switch (id)
{
case RadMarkupEditorStringId.MarkupEditorTitle: return "RadMarkupEditor";
case RadMarkupEditorStringId.MarkupEditorUndoString: return "Undo";
case RadMarkupEditorStringId.MarkupEditorRedoString: return "Redo";
case RadMarkupEditorStringId.MarkupEditorCopyString: return "Copy";
case RadMarkupEditorStringId.MarkupEditorCutString: return "Cut";
case RadMarkupEditorStringId.MarkupEditorPasteString: return "Paste";
case RadMarkupEditorStringId.MarkupEditorBoldString: return "Bold";
case RadMarkupEditorStringId.MarkupEditorItalicString: return "Italic";
case RadMarkupEditorStringId.MarkupEditorUnderlineString: return "Underline";
case RadMarkupEditorStringId.MarkupEditorClipboardString: return "Clipboard";
case RadMarkupEditorStringId.MarkupEditorFontString: return "Font";
case RadMarkupEditorStringId.MarkupEditorFontColorString: return "Font color";
case RadMarkupEditorStringId.MarkupEditorHighlightString: return "Highlight";
case RadMarkupEditorStringId.MarkupEditorBulletsString: return "Bullets";
case RadMarkupEditorStringId.MarkupEditorUnorderedListString: return "Unordered list";
case RadMarkupEditorStringId.MarkupEditorListsString: return "Lists";
case RadMarkupEditorStringId.MarkupEditorNumberingString: return "Numbering";
case RadMarkupEditorStringId.MarkupEditorOrderedListString: return "Ordered list";
case RadMarkupEditorStringId.MarkupEditorLinksString: return "Links";
case RadMarkupEditorStringId.MarkupEditorLinkString: return "Link";
case RadMarkupEditorStringId.MarkupEditorHyperlinkString: return "Hyperlink";
case RadMarkupEditorStringId.MarkupEditorApplyString: return "Apply";
case RadMarkupEditorStringId.MarkupEditorDesignString: return "Design";
case RadMarkupEditorStringId.MarkupEditorMarkupString: return "Markup";
case RadMarkupEditorStringId.RibbonBarQuickAccessAboveItemText: return "Show Above the Ribbon";
case RadMarkupEditorStringId.RibbonBarQuickAccessBelowItemText: return "Show Below the Ribbon";
case RadMarkupEditorStringId.RibbonBarMinimizeItemText: return "Minimize the Ribbon";
case RadMarkupEditorStringId.RibbonBarMaximizeItemText: return "Maximize the Ribbon";
case RadMarkupEditorStringId.AddHyperLinkDialogTitle: return "New Hyperlink";
case RadMarkupEditorStringId.AddHyperlinkType: return "Type:";
case RadMarkupEditorStringId.AddHyperlinkURI: return "URI:";
case RadMarkupEditorStringId.AddHyperlinkDialogOK: return "OK";
case RadMarkupEditorStringId.AddHyperlinkDialogCancel: return "Cancel";
}
return base.GetLocalizedString(id);
}
}
To apply the custom localization provider, instantiate and assign it to the current localization provider:
Assigning the Current Localization Provider
RadMarkupEditorLocalizationProvider.CurrentProvider = new MyRadMarkupEditorLocalizationProvider();
The code provided above illustrates the approach to be used to localize the RadMarkupDialog and is not intended as a full translation.
