Globalization in ASP.NET Core Pivot Table control

Globalization is the combination of internalization and localization. You can adapt the component to various languages by parsing and formatting the date or number (Internationalization) & adding culture specific customization and translation to the text (Localization).

Internationalization

Internationalization library provides support for formatting and parsing the number, date, and time by using the official Unicode CLDR JSON data and also provides the loadCldr method to load the culture specific CLDR JSON data.

By default, all the Essential JS 2 component are specific to English culture (‘en-US’). If you want to go with the different culture other than English, follow the below steps.

  • Install the CLDR-Data package by using the below command (it installs the CLDR JSON data). For more information about CLDR-Data, refer to this link.
npm install cldr-data --save

Once the package installed, you can find the culture specific JSON data under the location \scripts\cldr-data.

  • Now use the loadCultureFiles method to load the culture specific CLDR JSON data.

In ASP.NET MVC refer the culture files directly from \scripts\cldr-data location. In ASP.NET Core refer the culture files directly from \wwwroot\scripts\cldr-data location as like the below code examples for both ASP.NET Core and MVC

    function loadCultureFiles(de) {
        var files = ['ca-gregorian.json', 'numbers.json', 'timeZoneNames.json'];
        var loader = ej.base.loadCldr;
        var loadCulture = function (prop) {
            var val, ajax;
            <!--For ASP.NET MVC -->
            ajax = new ej.base.Ajax(location.origin + '/../scripts/cldr-data/main/' + name + '/' + files[prop], 'GET', false);
            <!--For ASP.NET Core-->
            ajax = new ej.base.Ajax(location.origin + '/../wwwroot/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);
        }
    }
  • Before changing to a culture other than 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": {
                'pivotview': {
                    'grandTotal': 'Gesamtsumme',
                    'total': 'Insgesamt',
                    'value': 'Wert',
                    'noValue': 'Kein Wert',
                    'row': 'Zeile',
                    'column': 'Spalte',
                    'collapse': 'Zusammenbruch',
                    'expand': 'Erweitern',
                },
            }
        });
  • Set the culture by using the locale property.

  • By default, locale value is en-US. If you want to change the en-US culture to a different culture, you have to change the locale accordingly.

Decimal separators

The decimal separators of pivot table values varies based on the culture applied to the component. The culture can be set by calling the method setCulture with appropriate culture string as its parameter.

The following example demonstrates the decimal separators in Deutsch culture.

Localization

The Localization library allows you to localize default text content of the Pivot Table. The pivot table component has static text on some features (like drop area text, pivot field list title, etc…) that can be changed to other cultures (Arabic, Deutsch, French, etc.) by defining the locale value and translation object.

The following list of properties and its values are used in the pivot table.

Locale keywords Text
grandTotal Grand Total
total Total
value Value
noValue No value
row Row
column Column
collapse Collapse
expand Expand
rowAxisPrompt Drop row here
columnAxisPrompt Drop column here

Loading Translations

To load translation object in an application, use load function of the L10n class.

The following example demonstrates the Pivot Table in Deutsch culture.

Right-to-left (RTL)

RTL provides an option to switch the text direction and layout of the Pivot Table component from right to left. It improves the user experiences and accessibility for users who use right-to-left languages (Arabic, Farsi, Urdu, etc…). To enable RTL Pivot Table, set the enableRtl property to true.
