Kendo error messages not using the culture

While using this tutorial: http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/aspnet-mvc/globalization, I set current culture through the web.config

<system.web>
    <globalization uiCulture="ru-RU" culture="ru-RU" />
    ...
</system.web>

include the js culture file and set kendo culture

    @{
        var culture =  System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentUICulture.ToString();
    }

    <script src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/kendo/2014.2.903/cultures/kendo.culture." + culture + ".min.js")"></script>

    <script>
        kendo.culture("@culture");
    </script>

Everything is working perfectly except of error messages.

When I'm using my local machine which is using ru-RU culture on the OS level, kendo shows localized error messages, such as " Требуется поле Тип оплаты." (I'm sorry for the foreign language, that's just for example)

But when I deploy application to the server, where OS culture is set to en-US, it shows non-localized error messages, such as "The Тип оплаты field is required."

Web.config and _Layout.cshtml content are identical to local after the deploy, so it's not web.config transormation problem

I'm using kendo 2014.2.903

Solution

  • Figured it out. It wasn't kendo, it was standart Html.ValidationMessageFor control. I haven't installed .NET Framework Language Pack for russian language to my server. See this question for more information.
