Hi Eric,

For your information, by default, We did not provide a language for English UK. So to use English UK language for webgrid, you should define your own language text by creating a new language file in localization manager. 

The problem that you have facing could be cause by the translation text for export menu have not been made. Please follow this step to set the needed localized text:

1. Right click on WebGrid and click on WebGrid.Net Designer.
2. Go to Localization Manager tab.
3. Click Manage Language Files.
4. Choose English (United Kingdom) in Language file pane.
5. In TextSetting Items pane, expand ContextMenu and choose Export
6. Please set the localized text for each items and Click Save Changes.

note: Please make sure that you have set the localization physical path correctly and The file for en-GB localization (wglang_en-GB.xml) was there.

Best Regards,
Leo

Hi

That is not the issue.  We use Resources not Common Library.

We are forcing the grid to English US, but this is still occuring when the browser is set to English UK.

Why can you guys build in logic like we do, where it just uses the first part of the culture (en not en-UK).

How do we fix this, this is a major issue for us.

Hi Eric,

This issue happened because WebGrid language was set to "UseCulture" with no specific WebGrid culture set in LayoutSetting and the web application globalization culture was set to "auto". When the prefer language from browser was set to English UK (en-GB) this will cause WebGrid unable to display the text properly as WebGrid did not have a text definition for that culture. To force WebGrid to use English US language, you could set WebGrid culture in LayoutSettings to "en-US" like the following:

<LayoutSettings Culture="en-US">    <TextSettings Language="UseCulture">    </TextSettings>
</LayoutSettings>

In case you need to display WebGrid in different language, you could programatically change WebGrid culture using two-letter-ISO-language-name with the following code. 

WebGrid1.LayoutSettings.Culture =  System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture(System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.TwoLetterISOLanguageName);

note : above code will set WebGrid culture to "en-US" when the browser prefer language is "en-GB".
