Localization

To localize RadTimeSpanPicker to display any 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 RadTimeSpanPickerLocalizationProvider 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 to 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:

class MyRadTimeSpanPickerLocalizationProvider : RadTimeSpanPickerLocalizationProvider
{
    public override string GetLocalizedString(string id)
    {
        switch (id)
        {
            case RadTimeSpanPickerStringId.NullText: return "Select time span";
            case RadTimeSpanPickerStringId.DaysText: return "Days";
            case RadTimeSpanPickerStringId.HoursText: return "Hours";
            case RadTimeSpanPickerStringId.MinutesText: return "Minutes";
            case RadTimeSpanPickerStringId.SecondsText: return "Seconds";
            case RadTimeSpanPickerStringId.MillisecondsText: return "Milliseconds";
            case RadTimeSpanPickerStringId.CloseButtonText: return "Close";
        }
        return base.GetLocalizedString(id);
    }
}

To apply the custom localization provider, instantiate and assign it to the current localization provider:

Assigning the Current Localization Provider

RadTimeSpanPickerLocalizationProvider.CurrentProvider = new MyRadTimeSpanPickerLocalizationProvider();
