Alpha Five Version 11 Feature Peek #15: Customizing the grid builder for international developers
With international offices in Singapore, South Africa, the U.S., the U.K., Poland, and Abu Dhabi, it's safe to say that Alpha Five has developers all over the world.
In fact, back in January I noticed that our website traffic came from all over the world! So while we were working on Alpha Five Version 11, we kept in mind that many of our developers spoke different languages.
Although our grid builder has always allowed our users to set their own default properties, those properties were only activated when creating a new grid. In Version 11, the default properties will always be used -- even if you use a template. This makes it much, much easier to customize the grid builder for our developers whose native language is not English.
To change the language of a grid, head to the grid builder and click on "options," just like always. But this time, you'll see a new choice in the drop-down menu labeled, "set default properties." When it's selected, you'll get a full window showing the default property values, and have the option of either defining the default property values yourself, or making changes to the predetermined system default property values.
Once you've laid out the properties in whatever language you've chosen, head over to make your grid, and activate it with your customized properties. Make sure to turn on the working preview so that you know the language has been changed.
And voila! Successone! Ai caramba! Wunderbar! Click on the video below to find out how you can create a new grid that speaks a brand new language.

how about character sets for international characters?
@BillMx Character sets for international characters will all work. When you set default properties for any text strings, they can include international characters.
Thanks for the question.
Can i build menu with internation characters (greek) in version 11 ?
becaus in version 10.5 i can not ..
Thanks
@teskg: You can build menus with international characters in v.10.5, but you have to enter the international character using its encoded value.
For example, say you wanted to insert this character: š
You would use the encoded value of š
To get the encoded value you could open the HTML editor in Alpha Five, paste in the value, and then go to the Source tab. This will show the encoded value.
Thanks for the question . It's all ok....
