Globalization is the combination of adapting the component to various languages by means of parsing and formatting the date or number Internationalization and also by adding cultural specific customizations and translating the text localization.
By default, DateRangePicker date format, week, and month names are specific to the American English culture. It utilizes the
Essential JavaScript 2 Internationalization
package to parse and format the date object based on the culture by using the official UNICODE CLDR
JSON data. It provides the loadCldr method to load culture specific CLDR JSON data.
To go with the different culture other than English, follow the below steps.
CLDR-Data package by using the below command (it installs the CLDR JSON data). To
know more about CLDR-Data refer the
CLDR-Data link.npm install cldr-data --saveOnce the package installed, you can find the culture
specific JSON data under the location \node_modules\cldr-data.
In ASP.NET Core, the static file contents are should present under wwwroot folder. For this, manually copy the CLDR-Data from the node_modules folder and place inside the wwwroot folder and refer from the \wwwroot\scripts\cldr-data location as like the below code examples
function loadCultureFiles(name) {
var files = ['ca-gregorian.json', 'numbers.json', 'timeZoneNames.json'];
var loader = ej.base.loadCldr;
var loadCulture = function (prop) {
var val, ajax;
ajax = new ej.base.Ajax(location.origin + location.pathname + '/../../scripts/cldr-data/main/' + name + '/' + files[prop], 'GET', false);
ajax.onSuccess = function (value) {
val = value;
};
ajax.send();
loader(JSON.parse(val));
};
for (var prop = 0; prop < files.length; prop++) {
loadCulture(prop);
}
}The
Localizationlibrary allows you to localize default text content of the DateRangePicker. The DateRangePicker component has static text for today feature that can be changed to other cultures (Arabic, Deutsch, French, etc.) by defining the locale value and translation object.
| Locale keywords | Text |
|---|---|
| placeholder | Hint to describe expected value in input element. |
| startLabel | Label to represent the start date. |
| endLabel | Label to represent the end date. |
| applyText | Text present in the apply button. |
| cancelText | Text present in the cancel button. |
| selectedDays | Text to represent selected days. |
| days | Text represents days. |
| customRange | Text present in the custom range button in presets container. |
English, ensure that locale text for the concerned culture is loaded through load method of
L10n class.var L10n = ej.base.L10n;
L10n.load({
'de': {
'daterangepicker': { placeholder: 'Wählen Sie einen Bereich aus',
startLabel: 'Wählen Sie Startdatum',
endLabel: 'Wählen Sie Enddatum',
applyText: 'Sich bewerben',
cancelText: 'Stornieren',
selectedDays: 'Ausgewählte Tage',
days: 'Tage',
customRange: 'benutzerdefinierten Bereich'
}
}
});The following example demonstrates the DateRangePicker in German culture.
@{
ViewData["Title"] = "Home Page";
}
<ejs-daterangepicker id="daterangepicker"></ejs-daterangepicker>
<script>
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function () {
daterangepicker = document.getElementById('daterangepicker').ej2_instances[0];
var L10n = ej.base.L10n;
L10n.load({
'de': {
'daterangepicker': {
placeholder: 'Einen Bereich auswählen',
today: 'heute'
}
}
});
loadCultureFiles('de');
daterangepicker.locale = 'de';
});
function loadCultureFiles(name) {
var files = ['ca-gregorian.json', 'numbers.json', 'timeZoneNames.json'];
if (name === 'ar') {
files.push('numberingSystems.json');
}
var loader = ej.base.loadCldr;
var loadCulture = function (prop) {
var val, ajax;
if (name === 'ar' && prop === files.length - 1) {
ajax = new ej.base.Ajax(location.origin + location.pathname + '/../../scripts/cldr-data/supplemental/' + files[prop], 'GET', false);
} else {
ajax = new ej.base.Ajax(location.origin + location.pathname + '/../../scripts/cldr-data/main/' + name + '/' + files[prop], 'GET', false);
}
ajax.onSuccess = function (value) {
val = value;
};
ajax.send();
loader(JSON.parse(val));
};
for (var prop = 0; prop < files.length; prop++) {
loadCulture(prop);
}
}
</script>The DateRangePicker supports RTL (right-to-left) functionality for languages like Arabic and Hebrew. To display the text in the right-to-left direction, use enableRtl property.
The code example demonstrates the DateRangePicker component in Arabic culture. It also explains how to set localized text to
the placeholder using L10n.load method.
The following example demonstrates DateRangePicker in Arabic culture with right-to-left direction.
<ejs-daterangepicker id="daterangepicker" enableRtl=true></ejs-daterangepicker>
<script>
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function () {
daterangepicker = document.getElementById('daterangepicker').ej2_instances[0];
var L10n = ej.base.L10n;
L10n.load({
'ar': {
'daterangepicker': {
placeholder: 'حدد نطاقا',
today: 'اليوم'
}
}
});
loadCultureFiles("ar");
daterangepicker.locale = 'ar';
});
function loadCultureFiles(name) {
var files = ['ca-gregorian.json', 'numbers.json', 'timeZoneNames.json'];
if (name === 'ar') {
files.push('numberingSystems.json');
}
var loader = ej.base.loadCldr;
var loadCulture = function (prop) {
var val, ajax;
if (name === 'ar' && prop === files.length - 1) {
ajax = new ej.base.Ajax(location.origin + location.pathname + '/../../scripts/cldr-data/supplemental/' + files[prop], 'GET', false);
} else {
ajax = new ej.base.Ajax(location.origin + location.pathname + '/../../scripts/cldr-data/main/' + name + '/' + files[prop], 'GET', false);
}
ajax.onSuccess = function (value) {
val = value;
};
ajax.send();
loader(JSON.parse(val));
};
for (var prop = 0; prop < files.length; prop++) {
loadCulture(prop);
}
}
</script>
