Adding translations for defaultColumnTypes'. filterOperators

I want to be able to add translations in the dictionary and make refine automatically use these for their default filterOperators' labels without needing to build my own filters from scratch. If this is not possible, then using the defaultOperators would make it that I would have to define my own anyway so that I can override the label with a translation. Unable to find a default way to do this. It makes a lot of sense to pull these by default from your translation provider and fallback to the labels that exist currently.

Hi @haib. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- Based on the information available in the knowledge sources, it appears that there is no direct mention of adding translations specifically for defaultColumnTypes' filter operators in Refine. However, Refine does support internationalization (i18n) for its components, which means you can override default texts by creating your own translation files. To add translations for default filter operators, you would typically follow these steps: 1. Create Translation Files: You need to create translation files that include the keys and values for the texts you want to override. For example, you can create a common.json file with the necessary translations. 2. Override Default Texts: Place your translation files in the appropriate directory and ensure they are loaded by your i18n provider. Here is an example of how you might structure your common.json file to include translations for filter operators:

{
  "filterOperators": {
    "equals": "Equals",
    "contains": "Contains",
    "startsWith": "Starts with",
    "endsWith": "Ends with"
  }
}

{
  "filterOperators": {
    "equals": "Equals",
    "contains": "Contains",
    "startsWith": "Starts with",
    "endsWith": "Ends with"
  }
}

3. Configure i18n Provider: Ensure that your i18n provider is configured to use these translation files. Refine's documentation provides guidance on how to set up and use the i18n provider. For more detailed information on adding translation files and configuring the i18n provider, you can refer to the following documentation: - Adding the Translations Files (https://refine.dev/docs/guides-concepts/i18n/#adding-the-translations-files) - i18n Provider (https://refine.dev/docs/i18n/i18n-provider/#translation-file) If the current implementation does not support automatic translation of filter operator labels, you might need to define your own filters and manually apply the translations. This would involve customizing the filter components to use the translated labels from your i18n setup. If you need further assistance or if this feature is critical for your application, consider opening a feature request on the Refine GitHub repository or checking existing issues for potential workarounds: - Refine GitHub Issues (https://github.com/refinedev/refine/issues) For now, it seems that manual customization is the way to go if automatic translation of filter operator labels is not supported out-of-the-box. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai No, this does not work. The labels dont seem to use translations by default

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books: ---------------------- It appears that the current implementation of Refine does not support automatic translation of filter operator labels by default. However, you can still achieve this by manually customizing the filter components to use the translated labels from your i18n setup. Here is a step-by-step guide to manually apply translations to filter operator labels: 1. Create Translation Files: Define your translations in a JSON file. For example, create a common.json file with the necessary translations:

    {
      "filterOperators": {
        "equals": "Equals",
        "contains": "Contains",
        "startsWith": "Starts with",
        "endsWith": "Ends with"
      }
    }

    {
      "filterOperators": {
        "equals": "Equals",
        "contains": "Contains",
        "startsWith": "Starts with",
        "endsWith": "Ends with"
      }
    }

2. Configure i18n Provider: Ensure that your i18n provider is configured to use these translation files. Here is an example of how to set up the i18n provider in your App.tsx:

    import { Refine } from "@refinedev/core";  
    import { useNotificationProvider, Layout } from "@refinedev/antd";  
    import routerProvider from "@refinedev/react-router-v6";  
    import dataProvider from "@refinedev/simple-rest";  
    import { useTranslation } from "react-i18next";  

    import "@refinedev/antd/dist/reset.css";  

    function App() {  
      const { t, i18n } = useTranslation();  

      const i18nProvider = {  
        translate: (key: string, params: object) => t(key, params),  
        changeLocale: (lang: string) => i18n.changeLanguage(lang),  
        getLocale: () => i18n.language,  
      };  

      return (  
        <Refine  
          routerProvider={routerProvider}  
          notificationProvider={useNotificationProvider}  
          Layout={Layout}  
          dataProvider={dataProvider("<https://api.fake-rest.refine.dev">)}  
          i18nProvider={i18nProvider}  
        />  
      );  
    }
export default App;

    import { Refine } from "@refinedev/core";  
    import { useNotificationProvider, Layout } from "@refinedev/antd";  
    import routerProvider from "@refinedev/react-router-v6";  
    import dataProvider from "@refinedev/simple-rest";  
    import { useTranslation } from "react-i18next";  

    import "@refinedev/antd/dist/reset.css";  

    function App() {  
      const { t, i18n } = useTranslation();  

      const i18nProvider = {  
        translate: (key: string, params: object) => t(key, params),  
        changeLocale: (lang: string) => i18n.changeLanguage(lang),  
        getLocale: () => i18n.language,  
      };  

      return (  
        <Refine  
          routerProvider={routerProvider}  
          notificationProvider={useNotificationProvider}  
          Layout={Layout}  
          dataProvider={dataProvider("<https://api.fake-rest.refine.dev">)}  
          i18nProvider={i18nProvider}  
        />  
      );  
    }
export default App;

3. Customize Filter Components: Manually customize the filter components to use the translated labels. Here is an example of how you might do this:

    import React from "react";
    import { useTranslate } from "@refinedev/core";
    import { Select } from "antd";

    const FilterComponent = () => {
      const translate = useTranslate();

      const filterOptions = [
        { label: translate("filterOperators.equals"), value: "equals" },
        { label: translate("filterOperators.contains"), value: "contains" },
        { label: translate("filterOperators.startsWith"), value: "startsWith" },
        { label: translate("filterOperators.endsWith"), value: "endsWith" },
      ];

      return (
        <Select options={filterOptions} />
      );
    };

    export default FilterComponent;

    import React from "react";
    import { useTranslate } from "@refinedev/core";
    import { Select } from "antd";

    const FilterComponent = () => {
      const translate = useTranslate();

      const filterOptions = [
        { label: translate("filterOperators.equals"), value: "equals" },
        { label: translate("filterOperators.contains"), value: "contains" },
        { label: translate("filterOperators.startsWith"), value: "startsWith" },
        { label: translate("filterOperators.endsWith"), value: "endsWith" },
      ];

      return (
        <Select options={filterOptions} />
      );
    };

    export default FilterComponent;

By following these steps, you can manually apply translations to the filter operator labels in your Refine application. If you need further assistance or if this feature is critical for your application, consider opening a feature request on the Refine GitHub repository or checking existing issues for potential workarounds: - Refine GitHub Issues (https://github.com/refinedev/refine/issues) For more detailed information on adding translation files and configuring the i18n provider, you can refer to the following documentation: - Adding the Translations Files (https://refine.dev/docs/guides-concepts/i18n/#adding-the-translations-files) - [i18n Provider](https://refine.dev/docs/i18n/i ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

Yeah this makes it that using getGridDefaultColumnTypes makes no sense anymore since you're going to have to redefine everything anyway.
