As you can see I added SelectItem with faked DataSource.
If you click on this item you will see ALWAYS English string "No items to show". This happened in all languages.
The string is coming from:
SmartGwtMessages.properties file:

listGrid_emptyMessage=No items to show.

I checked the same string in SmartGwtMessages_fr.properties

listGrid_emptyMessage=Aucune donn\u00e9e \u00e0 afficher.

it exist there as well as in Portuguese - Brasil : SmartGwtMessages_pt_BR.properties

listGrid_emptyMessage=N\u00e3o existem itens para mostrar.

As well I checked German and Dutch - the string exist in all languages translation, but somehow only English text is used for the SelectItem.
See the attached image for the outlook.

We're taking a look. We'll let you know what we find

Oh - actually - before we get stuck into this, can you confirm whether this is a problem for you with the latest nightly build? It appears you're using an older version of SmartGWT.

Thanks

This is support of our older versions. We use :
SmartClient Version: v9.0p_2014-04-23/PowerEdition Deployment (built 2014-04-23).

I used

 test.setHideEmptyPickList(true);

to hide the empty select list in all languages, which seems to work for us now, as well we can add our own translation of the "No items to show" with

 test.setHideEmptyPickList(false);
test.setEmptyPickListMessage(translatedMessage)

This will hide not translated value, provided by sgwt, but i still think the issue should be investigated and fixed on the sgwt side.

[Isomorphic]

Glad to hear you have a workaround.
We are also investigating to see if we can reproduce a problem on the framework side with the current codebase.

Hi aafros,

I used

 test.setHideEmptyPickList(false);
test.setEmptyPickListMessage(translatedMessage)

This will hide not translated value, provided by sgwt, but i still think the issue should be investigated and fixed on the sgwt side.

I don't know if you are doing this anyway, but with

SelectItem test = new SelectItem();
test.setHideEmptyPickList(false);
test.setEmptyPickListMessage(translatedMessage)
[URL=http://www.smartclient.com/smartgwtee/javadoc/com/smartgwt/client/widgets/form/fields/SelectItem.html#setDefaultProperties%28com.smartgwt.client.widgets.form.fields.SelectItem%29]SelectItem.setDefaultProperties[/URL](test);

before any draw you'll need your line one once in the whole application.

Best regards,
