Localization in React Kanban component

27 Jan 202324 minutes to read

The localization library allows you to localize the default text content of the Kanban to different cultures using the locale property.

In Kanban, total count and min or max count text alone will be localized based on culture.

Locale key en-US (default)
items items
min Min
max Max
cardsSelected Cards Selected
addTitle Add New Card
editTitle Edit Card Details
deleteTitle Delete Card
deleteContent Are you sure you want to delete this card?
save Save
delete Delete
cancel Cancel
yes Yes
no No
close Close
noCard No cards to display
unassigned Unassigned

Loading translations

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

The following example demonstrates the Kanban in Deutsch culture.

Right to left (RTL)

The Kanban provides an option to switch its text direction and layout 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 right-to-left mode in Kanban, set the enableRtl to true.
