We use MVC Grid in our MVC3 application. We need Russian localization so we follwed the instructions and put GridLocalization.ru-RU.resx to App_GlobalResources folder. And it works perfect on developers PC. We have standard deployment procedure which uses aspnet_compiler.exe to precompile application and publish it to production IIS. After we deployed our application this way we've found that localization does not work (everything is in English). I spend a few hours googling, switching build action (to embedded resource etc), moving dll around the bin folder -- nothing. It does not help. Finally I simply copied website to prod folder and it works fine now. So the question is: Is there any way to localize grid in precompiled application?

Have you checked that you have your App_GlobalResources folder containing all your resources files

App_GlobalResources does exist on web site but in precompiled application it is empty and should be empty. Instead of it there are App_GlobalResources.resources.dll in 'bin\ru-RU' folder. I looked in this dll and found Russian localized strings there. So the problem is that Telrik does not load resources from the dll, I guess.

I would say it depends how you configured your build action on each of these resx files
Select resx file in Solution Explorer and then examine its properties in the Properties window.

It is set to "EmbeddedResource" now. But I tried different settings. And as I mentioned before localized strings are in dll. May be it should be just a Content?

Hello Alex,

Indeed currently the localization mechanism expects the App_GlobalResources folder to exist as it reads the resx files from there. For the next official release we will add support for loading compiled resources.

Hi,
We are facing with exactly the same issue as Alex did. Please confirm that the issue was fixed in the last release of MVC extensions (2011 Q2).
Best regards,
Alexander

I have tested with version 2012.1.323 and it still does not work.
I have tried to copy the App_GlobalResources folder to the precompiled folder but the web application will not start.
Exception information:
I am using a Grid with Ajax binding
Can you provide a way to workaround this problem or fix it. We are stuck with this issue and cannot think of a way to make it work.
I have attached a screen shot that shows the problem
Thank you

Hello Eric,
I reproduced the problem you wrote about. The resources are read and the elements that are rendered on the server are localized but the rest are not serialized and so the default text is displayed. We will investigate the what exactly is causing the problem and I will write back once there is more information.
Kind regards,
Daniel
