Localize Telerik RadReminder

Like most of the offerings from the Telerik WinForms suite, it is possible to localize the RadReminder. However, this does not seem to be documented at the moment on the Telerik website.

localizing the RadReminder is easy and just like localizing all the other RadControls.

• Start by creating a descendant of the RadReminderLocalizationProvider class.
• Override the GetLocalizedString(string id) method and provide a translation for the 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

Public Class MyRadReminderLocalizationProvider

    Inherits Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadReminderLocalizationProvider

    Public Overrides Function GetLocalizedString(ByVal id As String) As String

        Select Case id

    End Function

End Class

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

RadReminderLocalizationProvider.CurrentProvider = New MyRadReminderLocalizationProvider()
