Global Resource Files

If you provide a new localization for RadEditor for ASP.NET AJAX which works properly, we will gladly reward you for your work. You can also find the available custom localizations for the control in the Telerik Code Library -> UI for ASP.NET AJAX Code Library -> Localization section

With RadEditor you can create a new language pack or alter labels of an existing language pack.

Localization strings are contained in resource (.resx) files. The resource files can be found in the installation directory under "\App_GlobalResources". There are three built-in localizations (English, French and German) which can be set through the Language property. For example to localize the editor in German set Language="de-DE".

To create your own localizations for the editor, you need to create the App_Global Resources folder in the root of your web application and copy the English resx files into it.

  • RadEditor.Dialogs.resx

  • RadEditor.Main.resx

  • RadEditor.Modules.resx

  • RadEditor.Tools.resx

After you have copied the resx files, you must duplicate each copy of these files and rename them using the syntax shown in the few examples below:

  • RadEditor.Dialogs.<Your_Language>.resx

  • RadEditor.Main.<Your_Language>.resx

  • RadEditor.Modules.<Your_Language>.resx

  • RadEditor.Tools.<Your_Language>.resx

All resx file contain two columns: Name and Value as it is shown below:

It is mandatory to set the ReservedResource string in the Name column of the RadEditor.Tools.<Language>.resx file. Without this string the resource files will not be recognized.

After renaming the files, localize the strings in the Value column of your new resx files. Then set the Language property of RadEditor to the name of the <localization> string in the RadEditor.Tools.<Language>.resx file:

<telerik:radeditor runat="server" id="RadEditor1" language="it-IT"></telerik:radeditor>
RadEditor1.Language = "it-IT";
RadEditor1.Language = "it-IT"
