[PROBLEM] Telerik RadGridView and shifted columns.

Hello, Veljko,

RadGridView offers the following approach for localizing the columns' HeaderText:

1. Add a RadGridView with columns.
2. Select the form and in the Properties window, set the form's Localizable property to true.
3. Specify the column's HeaderText for the default language, e.g. "en-US".
4. Set the form's Language property to French (Belgium).
5. Specify the column's HeaderText for  French (Belgium).
6. Set the CurrentUICulture before the InitializeComponent method to "fr-BE". If you run the application, the column is localized as expected.

    public partial class RadForm1 : Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadForm
    {
        public RadForm1()
        {
            System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("fr-BE");
            //System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("en-US");
            InitializeComponent();
        }
    }

Note that this approach generates resource files for each language storing the different translations:

When the Columns collection is updated in any way, e.g. a new column is added, note that the columns may be regenerated, e.g. from variable gridViewTextBoxColumn1 and gridViewTextBoxColumn2, they can become gridViewTextBoxColumn3 and gridViewTextBoxColumn4. This is possible to mess up the resource files with the translations as well.

The possible solution that I can suggests is to construct the whole grid first and add all the columns you need. Then, start translating the columns' headers. 

A better and recommended option is to perform the whole columns translation at run time considering the CurrentUICulture. Just iterate the columns and specify the respective HeaderText according to the current language.

I hope this information helps. If you need any further assistance please don't hesitate to contact me.
