Localization
To localize RadWizard 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 RadWizardLocalizationProvider 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 RadWizard Strings
class MyWizardLocalizationProvider : RadWizardLocalizationProvider
{
public override string GetLocalizedString(string id)
{
switch (id)
{
case RadWizardStringId.BackButtonText: return "< Back";
case RadWizardStringId.NextButtonText: return "Next >";
case RadWizardStringId.CancelButtonText: return "Cancel";
case RadWizardStringId.FinishButtonText: return "Finish";
case RadWizardStringId.HelpButtonText: return "<html><u>Help</u></html>";
default: return string.Empty;
}
}
}
Class MyWizardLocalizationProvider
Inherits RadWizardLocalizationProvider
Public Overrides Function GetLocalizedString(id As String) As String
Select Case id
Case RadWizardStringId.BackButtonText
Return "< Back"
Case RadWizardStringId.NextButtonText
Return "Next >"
Case RadWizardStringId.CancelButtonText
Return "Cancel"
Case RadWizardStringId.FinishButtonText
Return "Finish"
Case RadWizardStringId.HelpButtonText
Return "<html><u>Help</u></html>"
Case Else
Return String.Empty
End Select
End Function
End Class
To apply the custom localization provider, instantiate and assign it to the current localization provider:
Assigning the Current Localization Provider
RadWizardLocalizationProvider.CurrentProvider = new MyWizardLocalizationProvider();
RadWizardLocalizationProvider.CurrentProvider = New MyWizardLocalizationProvider()
The code provided above illustrates the approach to be used to localize RadWizard and it is not intended as a full translation.
