Jqrid-Search Dialog-How to localize groupOps Text Values “AND” and “OR”

Question

I have a jqgrid which i enabled multiple search for and i wanna change the \"AND\" and \"OR\" group operation texts to their corresponding values in my native language.

It's a good question! +1 from me.

The current jqGrid code build corresponding <select> element using the same values for the displayed text and the value attribute used in the query. As a workaround I suggest you the define the function updateGroupOpText

var updateGroupOpText = function ($form) {
        $('select.opsel option[value="AND"]', $form[0]).text('My ADD');
        $('select.opsel option[value="OR"]', $form[0]).text('My OR');
        $('select.opsel', $form[0]).trigger('change');
    };

and use it as the event handler for onInitializeSearch and afterRedraw events:

jQuery("#kontrollist").jqGrid('navGrid', '#controllistpager',
    { add: false, edit: false, del: false },
    {}, {}, {},
    { // search options
        multipleSearch: true,
        onInitializeSearch: updateGroupOpText,
        afterRedraw: updateGroupOpText
    }
);

See the corresponding demo here, which displays the dialog like the following:

You should just change "My ADD" and "My OR" to the texts which you want.
