Oh my gosh! I'm sorry Elizabeth. Apparantly I set the labels for those two buttons in Razor code! Forgot that was possible and I'm not sure why I'm doing that (probably from an example on Infragistic's site. But I removed the instruction and it picked up the translated strings. Sorry for bothering you so much.

Thank you, take care!

Grts,

Danny

Hello Danny,

Based on what you've told me so far, it sounds like you are using version 12.1.  I tried to change the "prev" and "next" button text using version 12.1.20121.2202, and it worked as expected.

The default English text for these buttons are "prev" and "next".  If "Previous" and "Next" are showing instead, it sounds like it is customized in css.  Could you please search your project for "Previous" and "Next", to see if they're set somewhere in css?  I like using Notepad++'s "Find in Files" tool to search an entire folder, with the option to specify a file filter (ex. "*.css").  I just searched the installation package from v12.1 for "Previous" and it's not something we're setting to a custom value.

Please let me know if this solves the issue.  If it doesn't, could you please let me know the version number you're using, and if you are using any themes?

Hello Elizabeth,

Still very gratefull for all your help so far. Unfortunatly not finished here, if you could please help me some more...

I found the buttonTitle key in the .editors-**.js file, changed it, and it works. So thats fine.

But the 'Previous' and 'Next' won't change. Apparantly I did find them yesterday and changed them. But the labels won't change. Do you have any idea why that is? I did change the tooltips though, they all work fine.

p.s.: I checked in Firebug the infragistics.ui.grid-nl.js file. And I see the changed values. But on my website the buttons still say "Previous" and "Next"  in English. Tooltips work fine though. Pretty weird.

Hello Danny,

There is no infragistics.ui.grid.js.  The infragistics.ui.grid-**.js files are localization files, which take the localizable content from multiple grid .js files in the modules folder and put it all together in one file.  What you did was correct.

For the "prev" and "next" paging buttons, you can find these strings in the infragistics.ui.grid-**.js file.  The keys are "nextPageLabelText" and "prevPageLabelText".  You can also change the tooltips "prevPageTooltip", "nextPageTooltip", "firstPageTooltip", "lastPageTooltip".

The dropdown button tooltip is set in the infragistics.ui.editors-**.js file.  The key is "buttonTitle".  You can do the same thing for this file that you did for the grid file.  Copy one of the other locale files, rename it to infragistics.ui.editors-nl.js, translate the content, and reference it in the .cshtml file.

Let me know if there is anything else!

Dear Elizabeth,

Thanks for the help so far. What I've done:

- Localized infragistics.ui.grid.js on my system. The weird thing is, I only found infragistics.ui.grid-jp.js, infragistics.ui.grid-ru.js and infragistics.ui.grid-bg.js (I didn't find infragistics.ui.grid.js on it's own).

- But didn't matter. I used infragistics.ui.grid-bg.js, renamed it to infragistics.ui.grid-nl.js and almost translated all the strings I need to translate.

- Then I reference the custom localization js file like in your example before referencing any other Infragistics js files. The only difference is, I don't need to use $ig.loader, it works just by referencing it.

Ok, last question. Like I said, I translated almost everything I needed to translate. The paging buttons at the right-bottomcorner still say "Previous" and "Next" and I can't find them, where can I translate those strings? Plus the tooltip at the icon for the dropdown of the number of records per page still says "Show list". I need to translate this too. Where can I find it?

Thanks again for the quick reply.
