I personally find such change good. It remind me on my old suggestion which is forgotten. I think that more support of multi-languge features would be really welcome by many developers which use jqGrid now. The best would be the solution which allows to create on one page two grids in different languages, but dynamical change the grid language based on the language preferences of the web browser could be helpful too.

Oleg

Hello.

I noticed that adding any locale file like grid.locale-en.js after jqGrid.js destroys jqgrid object. This is so, because the code in locale file is the following:

$.jgrid = {
defaults : {

...

}

It means that if we add locale file after our jqGrid.js - jqGrid object will have only locale information and we cannot use it anymore.

This could be very easily fixed by changing locale files to:

$.jgrid = $.jgrid || {};
$.extend($.jgrid,{
defaults : {

...

});

Advantages:

1) now we can put those files in any order without having to care about that.

2) we can change the language on the fly, without need to refresh the page.

Thank you,

Vlad
