Questions on Kendo UI for jQuery Forum

We have a requirement in our product that a numerictextbox, set to currency mode, must be able to be a different culture than the culture of the page.

For example, most of our product will be kendo.culture("en-US"). However, I will have a currency input on the page whose culture needs to be "de-DE".

Is there a simple way of controlling a single control's culture?

Thanks,
Kyle

Formatting currency with big amounts from variable not working.

Hi,

I've created a template that displays a big amount of money (> 1.000.000.000). Unfortunately the formatter doesn't seem to handle big numbers from an input variable.

// transactionAmount = 1000000000 and is stored in the field of a model

// In the template definition I see this unexpected result:

#: kendo.toString(get("transactionAmount"), "c") # // result: 1000000000

// Smaller or hard-coded amounts work fine:

#: kendo.toString(get("transactionAmount")/1000, "c") # // result: € 1.000.000,00

#: kendo.toString(1000000000, "c") # // result: € 1.000.000.000,00

Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug? Thanks for your help!

Best regards,

Harry van Mierloo

Complete solution for language localization of all text strings in an app

Please note that the globalization demo shown at

http://demos.kendoui.com/web/globalization/index.html

does NOT demonstrate a completely localized solution because all the text labels remain in English. A realistic solution would require all text to display in the selected local language whether English, French, Spanish, German, etc, and not just the "culture" relevant to dollars versus Euros, etc.

So what are the plans for a framework that implements a completely localized language solution that allows us to access resource files for selected translations of all the text strings in our applications?

Or should we implement our own solutions?

See for example the i18n solution implemented by Matthew ORiordan for Appcelerator Titanium at Github:

https://github.com/mattheworiordan/json.i18n-for-Titanium-Mobile

where he implemented language resource files in JSON as an approach more efficient than XML.

Grid Pager with Localization

Hi, when I switch locales in my app, I am still seeing the english text in the page control (i.e. 1 to 10 of 800 items). How can I have that text be the {current locale} text? Here is a JSFiddle demonstrating the problem.

Also, the text associated with the paging buttons (first, prev, next, last) is still in English as well. Is there a way within the framework to update these as well?

I found this JSFiddle, where they are using a template hooked into dataBound to specify the details of the current page, but I would expect this to be part of the framework where I set the locale and it is localized for me.

I just found the Messages section in the docs. Do I need to include my own translations for each of these?

Aha! Here is the page I was looking for.

Thanks,
--Ed

Problem calling kendo.culture when using requirejs

I have no problem using Kendoui with requirejs except when I try to localize the dates using kendo.culture(). For another project without requirejs I have no issues.

My settings are

require.config({

paths: {

jquery: 'lib/jquery-1.7.2.min',

kendo: 'lib/kendo.web.min',

kendoCulture: 'lib/cultures/kendo.culture.es-MX.min',

knockout: 'lib/knockout-2.1.0',

knockout_kendo: 'lib/knockout-kendo.min',

underscore: 'lib/underscore-min',

json2: 'lib/json2',

}

});

require([

'jquery',

'kendo',

'kendoCulture',

'knockout',

'knockout_kendo',

'underscore',

'json2'

], function (

$,

kendo,

kendoCulture,

ko,

knockout_kendo,

_,

json2) {

// Start of Main Function

$(function () {

kendo.culture("es-MX");

$("#tabstrip").kendoTabStrip({

animation:{

open:{

effects:"fadeIn"

}

});

// knockout Bindings

});

The error message that I get is that kendo is undefined when the kendo.culture("es-MX") command is called.

Thanks,

Alberto

Disable globalization

Hello,

I am using Kendo MVC. Is there a way I can have Visual Studio _not_ deploy all of the localization DLL's?

Culture ignored when loaded from requirejs

Hi,

In my root module (defined below), I call kendo.culture and it sets the culture right.

(function () {

define(['jquery', 'amplify', 'modules/tools', 'k/kendo.router.min', 'k/kendo.view.min',

'k/cultures/kendo.culture.fr-CA.min', 'k/cultures/kendo.culture.en-CA.min'], function ($, amplify, tools) {

1. I noticed that the culture that I set in my root module (app.js) does not propagate to other modules. Any idea why?

2. When I call kendo.culture in another module (to work around problem 1), the culture does not change (I check it by calling kendo.culture() from the console, it is always en-US. Any idea? Here is an example of how my other modules are defined (it's pretty much the same than above):

(function () {

define(['jquery', 'amplify', 'modules/tools', 'modules/date', 'k/kendo.dataviz',

'k/cultures/kendo.culture.fr-CA.min', 'k/cultures/kendo.culture.en-CA.min'], function ($, amplify, tools) {

Thanks,

Alex
