Loading culture using Ajax

Locale files can be loaded based on culture name by using the Ajax post as shown in the following code snippet. Based on the selected culture, the cldr files will be loaded by using the following function.

//Function for loading locale files based on culture name
function loadCultureFiles(name:any) {
    let files: string[] = ['ca-gregorian.json', 'numbers.json', 'timeZoneNames.json'];
     let loadCulture = function (prop:any) {
        let val:string, ajax: Ajax;
        if (name === 'ar' && prop === files.length - 1) {
            ajax = new Ajax( './node_modules/cldr-data/supplemental/' + files[prop], 'GET', false);
        } else {
            ajax = new Ajax( './node_modules/cldr-data/main/' + name + '/' + files[prop], 'GET', false);
        }
        ajax.onSuccess = function (value:any) {
            val = value;
            loadCldr(JSON.parse(val));
        };
        ajax.send();
    };
    for (let prop = 0; prop < files.length; prop++) {
        loadCulture(prop);
    }
}
loadCultureFiles('de');

Loading translations

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

//loading locale files
L10n.load({
    'de': {
        'calendar': { today: 'heute' },
    },
});

Loading CLDR files using loadCldr function

Pass the locale files into the loadCldr function as shown in the following example. The setCulture method allows you to set the required culture.

import { Calendar } from '@syncfusion/ej2-calendars';
//import the loadCldr from ej2-base
import { loadCldr, L10n, Ajax, setCulture } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';

declare var require: any;
//loading locale files
L10n.load({
    'de': {
        'calendar': { today: 'heute' },
    },
});

//Function for loading locale files based on culture name
function loadCultureFiles(name:any) {
    let files: string[] = ['ca-gregorian.json', 'numbers.json', 'timeZoneNames.json'];
     let loadCulture = function (prop:any) {
        let val:string, ajax: Ajax;
        if (name === 'ar' && prop === files.length - 1) {
            ajax = new Ajax( './node_modules/cldr-data/supplemental/' + files[prop], 'GET', false);
        } else {
            ajax = new Ajax( './node_modules/cldr-data/main/' + name + '/' + files[prop], 'GET', false);
        }
        ajax.onSuccess = function (value:any) {
            val = value;
            loadCldr(JSON.parse(val));
        };
        ajax.send();
    };
    for (let prop = 0; prop < files.length; prop++) {
        loadCulture(prop);
    }
}
loadCultureFiles('de');

let calendarObject: Calendar = new Calendar({
    //sets the locale.
    locale: 'de'
});

calendarObject.appendTo('#element');
setCulture('de');calendarObject.appendTo('#element');
setCulture('de');
