How can I generate translation files if the kendo-ui uses English expressions by default but I'm using another language in my app?

Question

I'm trying to integrate i18n to my angular7 application. It uses kendo-ui too. Kendo-ui templates contains English expressions, but my app code contains Hungarian expressions. If I generate the messages.xlf file with the ng xi18n --output-path translate, the generated file will contain the English expressions from kendo-ui and the Hungarian expressions from my app.

What could be the proper way to generate the messages.xlf?

I was wrong because not necessary to use angular i18n for Kenod-UI translations. The MessageService was perfect for me: https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui/components/globalization/localization/messages/#toc-using-the-message-service

So I kept the original ngx-translate solution in my app code and I've added a new provider (the implementation of MessageService) which resolves the translations from Kendo-UI.

This is the code of my MessagesService:

export class KendoMessageService extends MessageService {
  constructor(private translateService: TranslateService) {}

  public get(key: string): string {
    const resolvedValue = this.translateService.instant(key);
    return resolvedValue !== key ? resolvedValue : void 0;
  }
}
