Localization in EJ2 TypeScript Drop down list control

2 May 20234 minutes to read

The Localization library allows you to localize static text content of the noRecordsTemplate
and actionFailureTemplate  properties according to the culture currently assigned to the DropDownList.

Locale key en-US (default)
noRecordsTemplate No records found
actionFailureTemplate The request failed

Loading translations

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

In the following sample, French culture is set to the DropDownList and no data is loaded. Hence, the noRecordsTemplate property displays its text in French culture initially, and if the sample is run offline, theactionFailureTemplate property displays its text appropriately.

import { DropDownList } from '@syncfusion/ej2-dropdowns';
// import L10n class for load function
import { L10n, setCulture} from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';
import { DataManager, ODataV4Adaptor, Query } from '@syncfusion/ej2-data';

// bind remotedata to showcase actionFailureTemplate in offline.
let customerData: DataManager = new DataManager({
    url: 'https://services.odata.org/V4/Northwind/Northwind.svc/Customers',
    adaptor: new ODataV4Adaptor,
    crossDomain: true
});

let dropDownObj: DropDownList = new DropDownList({
    dataSource: customerData,
    // set locale culture to DropDownList
    locale: 'fr-BE',
    // map appropriate column
    fields: { text: 'ContactName', value: 'CustomerID' },
    // take 0 item to showcase noRecordsTemplate property.
    query: new Query().select(['ContactName', 'CustomerID']).take(0);
    // set placeholder to DropDownList input element
    placeholder: 'Sélectionnez un élément'
});
dropDownObj.appendTo('#ddlelement');

L10n.load({
    'fr-BE': {
       'dropdowns': {
             'noRecordsTemplate': "Aucun enregistrement trouvé",
             'actionFailureTemplate': "Modèle d'échec d'action"
         }
     }
});
