Localization in React Color Picker

9 Aug 20266 minutes to read

Localization

The Localization library allows you to localize the ColorPicker’s default text. The ColorPicker includes static text for control buttons (apply/cancel) and the mode switcher; these can be localized by defining the locale value and providing a translation object.

The following lists locale keys and their default text values used by the ColorPicker.

Locale keywords Text
Apply Apply
Cancel Cancel
ModeSwitcher Switch Mode

Loading translations

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

The below example demonstrates the ColorPicker in Deutsch culture.

import { L10n } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';
import { ColorPickerComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-inputs';
import * as React from "react";
import * as ReactDOM from "react-dom";
L10n.load({
    'de-DE': {
        'colorpicker': {
            'Apply': 'Anwenden',
            'Cancel': 'Abbrechen',
            'ModeSwitcher': 'Modus wechseln'
        }
    }
});
function App() {
    return (<div id='container'>
        <div className='wrap'>
            <h4>Choose Color</h4>
            <ColorPickerComponent locale='de-DE'/>
        </div>
        </div>);
}
export default App;
ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById('element'));
import { L10n } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';
import { ColorPickerComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-inputs';
import * as React from "react";
import * as ReactDOM from "react-dom";

L10n.load({
    'de-DE': {
        'colorpicker': {
            'Apply': 'Anwenden',
            'Cancel': 'Abbrechen',
            'ModeSwitcher': 'Modus wechseln'
        }
    }
});

function App() {
    return (
        <div id='container'>
        <div className='wrap'>
            <h4>Choose Color</h4>
            <ColorPickerComponent locale='de-DE'/>
        </div>
        </div>
    );
}
export default App;
ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById('element'));

Right to Left - RTL

The ColorPicker supports RTL rendering. It improves the user experience and accessibility for right-to-left languages (Arabic, Farsi, Urdu, etc.). This can be enabled by setting the enableRtl property to true.

The following example illustrates how to enable right-to-left support in the ColorPicker component.

import { L10n } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';
import { ColorPickerComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-inputs';
import * as React from "react";
import * as ReactDOM from "react-dom";
L10n.load({
    'ar-AE': {
        'colorpicker': {
            'Apply': 'تطبيق',
            'Cancel': 'إلغاء',
            'ModeSwitcher': 'مفتاح كهربائي الوضع'
        }
    }
});
function App() {
    return (<div id='container'>
        <div className='wrap'>
            <h4>Choose Color</h4>
            <ColorPickerComponent enableRtl={true} locale='ar-AE'/>
        </div>
        </div>);
}
export default App;
ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById('element'));
import { L10n } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';
import { ColorPickerComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-inputs';
import * as React from "react";
import * as ReactDOM from "react-dom";

L10n.load({
    'ar-AE': {
        'colorpicker': {
            'Apply': 'تطبيق',
            'Cancel': 'إلغاء',
            'ModeSwitcher': 'مفتاح كهربائي الوضع'
        }
    }
});

function App() {
    return (
        <div id='container'>
        <div className='wrap'>
            <h4>Choose Color</h4>
            <ColorPickerComponent enableRtl={true} locale='ar-AE'/>
        </div>
        </div>
    );
}
export default App;
ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById('element'));
