Translation of zoom button tooltips for the Map component
Hello, we have a localized application and we would like to localize the zoom button tooltips for the Map component. What are the keys for localizing the tooltips? I couldn't find anything in https://github.com/telerik/kendo-react-messages.

Hello, Jakub,

I realize that the workaround is not ideal and you are right that this should be available out of the box. It seems that the Map element is not localized since it does not have a lot of text in the UI, besides the tooltips. I inspected the JQuery, Angular and Vue suites as well and it seems that none of them provide localization for the tooltips.

Nevertheless I have converted this ticket to an official feature request in our feedback portal and added your vote for convenience. 

Regards,

Hi Filip, thanks for your answer. I wanted to avoid such a solution. Do you plan to add the ability to localize the Map element in the future? Shouldn't localization be one of the key features of components, considering that you support this in other components? Thank you

Hello, Jakub,

At the moment, it seems the KendoReact Map does not expose message keys for the zoom button tooltips, and I did not find any in the KendoReact messages repository, so localization through message keys appears unavailable for these tooltips. From a review of the source, the component also does not appear to offer any translatable key value pairs.

However, this can be worked around by using JavaScript to obtain the parent title (which triggers the browser tooltip) and changing it's title programatically. I have created an example that showcases this approach here:

    While I realize that this approach is not ideal, I still hope that i can be beneficial. Please let me know in case further questions arise on this matter and I will gladly assist further.

    Regards,
