Propertygrid localization/globalization

My application is required to support about 6 languages including Chinese (double byte).  I would like to know if this is possible and how it would be done.  If possible an example is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

It depends what you are trying to do.

If you are talking about localising/globalising property names, this is not directly supported because the names are taken from the property metadata, or from the DisplayNameAttribute if present, and these are not localised.  However, you can create a simple localisation facility by setting the PropertyNameTemplate to your own custom DataTemplate.  In this DataTemplate, you can use an IValueConverter (or whatever) to translate the property information into a localised form by consulting a resource file, a custom attribute or however you prefer to store the localised names.  Your DataTemplate will receive a PropertyGridRow so use the Node.Property path to get to the property metadata which you can then feed into your value converter.

For localisation of the grid editor UI, see How Do I > Localise the Built-In Editors in the help file.

One thing I should alert you to is that the WPF Property Grid has not been tested with RTL or non-Latin scripts such as Chinese.  So I would strongly advise doing at least a basic test of this case as part of your proof of concept, before committing too far.  E.g. you might need to look at custom templates to support IMEs or to make the date editor run RTL or display non-Gregorian calendars.  We would be happy to work with you to resolve issues, but due to limited resources and a lack of foreign-language speakers we cannot guarantee that we will be able to resolve issues in all cases.
