Localization
To localize RadTabbedForm 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 RadTabbedFormControlLocalizationProvider 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 MyRadTabbedFormControlLocalizationProvider : RadTabbedFormControlLocalizationProvider
{
public override string GetLocalizedString(string id)
{
switch (id)
{
case RadTabbedFormControlStringId.NewTabMenuTtem: return "New tab";
case RadTabbedFormControlStringId.PinTabMenuTtem: return "Pin tab";
case RadTabbedFormControlStringId.CloseTabMenuTtem: return "Close tab";
case RadTabbedFormControlStringId.CloseOtherTabsMenuTtem: return "Close other tabs";
case RadTabbedFormControlStringId.CloseRightTabsMenuTtem: return "Close tabs to the right";
case RadTabbedFormControlStringId.UnpinTabMenuTtem: return "Unpin tab";
}
return base.GetLocalizedString(id);
}
}
Friend Class MyRadTabbedFormControlLocalizationProvider
Inherits RadTabbedFormControlLocalizationProvider
Public Overrides Function GetLocalizedString(ByVal id As String) As String
Select Case id
Case RadTabbedFormControlStringId.NewTabMenuTtem
Return "New tab"
Case RadTabbedFormControlStringId.PinTabMenuTtem
Return "Pin tab"
Case RadTabbedFormControlStringId.CloseTabMenuTtem
Return "Close tab"
Case RadTabbedFormControlStringId.CloseOtherTabsMenuTtem
Return "Close other tabs"
Case RadTabbedFormControlStringId.CloseRightTabsMenuTtem
Return "Close tabs to the right"
Case RadTabbedFormControlStringId.UnpinTabMenuTtem
Return "Unpin tab"
End Select
Return MyBase.GetLocalizedString(id)
End Function
End Class
To apply the custom localization provider, instantiate and assign it to the current localization provider:
Assigning the Current Localization Provider
RadTabbedFormControlLocalizationProvider.CurrentProvider = new MyRadTabbedFormControlLocalizationProvider();
RadTabbedFormControlLocalizationProvider.CurrentProvider = New MyRadTabbedFormControlLocalizationProvider()
