Localization in EJ2 JavaScript Dropdown List

04 Sep 20264 minutes to read

The Localization library allows you to localize the static text content displayed by 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 a translation object into your application, use the load function of the L10n class.

In the following sample, the French culture is set for the DropDownList and no data is loaded. As a result, the noRecordsTemplate property displays its text in French initially, and if the sample is run offline, the actionFailureTemplate property displays its corresponding text.

//bind the data manager instance to dataSource property
var customerData = new ej.data.DataManager({
    url: 'https://services.odata.org/V4/Northwind/Northwind.svc/Customers',
    adaptor: new ej.data.ODataV4Adaptor(),
    crossDomain: true
});

var ddlObj =  new ej.dropdowns.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 ej.data.Query().select(['ContactName', 'CustomerID']).take(0),
    // set placeholder to DropDownList input element
    placeholder: 'Sélectionnez un éléments'
});
ddlObj.appendTo('#ddlelement');

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