Globalization is the combination of internalization and localization. You can adapt the component to
various languages by parsing and formatting the date or
number Internationalization
and also add culture specific customization and translation to the text localization
.
By default, Calendar date format, week and month names are specific to
American English culture. It utilizes the
Essential JavaScript 2 Internationalization
package to parse and format the date object based on the culture by uses the official UNICODE CLDR
JSON data and also it provides the
loadCldr
method
to load the culture specific CLDR JSON data.
To go with the different culture other than English
, follow the below steps.
CLDR-Data
package by using the below command (it installs the CLDR JSON data). To
know more about CLDR-Data refer the
CLDR-Data
link.npm install cldr-data --save
Once the package installed, you can find the culture
specific JSON data under the location /node_modules/cldr-data
.
app.component.ts
file.loadCldr
method
to load the culture specific CLDR JSON data
from the installed location to app.component.ts
file.Sunday
as the first day of week based on default culture (“en-US”). If you want to display the Calendar with loaded culture’s first day of week, you need to import weekdata.json
file from the cldr-data/suppemental
as given in the code example.//import the loadCldr from ej2-base
import { loadCldr} from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';
declare var require: any;
loadCldr(
require('cldr-data/supplemental/numberingSystems.json'),
require('cldr-data/main/de/ca-gregorian.json'),
require('cldr-data/main/de/numbers.json'),
require('cldr-data/main/de/timeZoneNames.json'),
require('cldr-data/supplemental/weekdata.json')); // To load the culture based first day of week
The
Localization
library allows you to localize default text content of the Calendar. The Calendar component has static text for today feature that can be changed to other cultures (Arabic, Deutsch, French, etc.) by defining thelocale
value and translation object.
Locale keywords | Text |
---|---|
today | Name of the button to choose Today date. |
English
, ensure that locale text for the concerned culture is loaded through load
method of
L10n
class.//Load the L10n, loadCldr from ej2-base
import { loadCldr, L10n } from "@syncfusion/ej2-base";
//load the locale object to set the localized placeholder value
L10n.load({
de: {
calendar: {
today:"heute"
}
}
});
locale
property. The below code example, initialize
the Calendar component in German
culture.import { Component } from '@angular/core';
//import the loadCldr from ej2-base
import { loadCldr, L10n } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';
declare var require: any;
loadCldr(
require('cldr-data/supplemental/numberingSystems.json'),
require('cldr-data/main/de/ca-gregorian.json'),
require('cldr-data/main/de/numbers.json'),
require('cldr-data/main/de/timeZoneNames.json')
);
@Component({
selector: 'app-root',
template: `
<!-- Sets the value, locale -->
<ejs-calendar [value]='dateValue' locale='de'></ejs-calendar>`
})
export class AppComponent {
public dateValue: Object = new Date();
ngOnInit(): void {
/*loads the localization text*/
L10n.load({
'de': {
'calendar': {
today:"heute"
}
}
});
}
constructor() {
}
}
The following example demonstrates the Calendar in German
culture.
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { loadCldr, L10n } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';
// Here we have referred local json files for preview purpose
import * as numberingSystems from './numberingSystems.json';
import * as gregorian from './ca-gregorian.json';
import * as numbers from './numbers.json';
import * as timeZoneNames from './timeZoneNames.json';
loadCldr(numberingSystems, gregorian, numbers, timeZoneNames);
@Component({
selector: 'app-root',
template: `
<!-- Sets the value, locale -->
<ejs-calendar [value]='dateValue' locale='de'></ejs-calendar>`
})
export class AppComponent {
public dateValue: Object = new Date();
ngOnInit(): void {
/*loads the localization text*/
L10n.load({
'de': {
'calendar': {
today:"heute"
}
}
});
}
constructor() {
}
}
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
//Syncfusion ej2-angular-calendars module
import { CalendarModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-calendars';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';

The Calendar supports right-to-left functionality for languages like Arabic, Hebrew to displays
the text in the right-to-left direction. Use
enableRtl
property to set the RTL direction.
The following example demonstrates the Calendar in Arabic
culture with enableRtl
property.
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { loadCldr, L10n} from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';
// Here we have referred local json files for preview purpose
import * as numberingSystems from './numberingSystems.json';
import * as gregorian from './ca-gregorian.json';
import * as numbers from './numbers.json';
import * as timeZoneNames from './timeZoneNames.json';
loadCldr(numberingSystems, gregorian, numbers, timeZoneNames);
@Component({
selector: 'app-root',
template: `
<!-- Sets the value, locale,enableRtl -->
<ejs-calendar [value]='dateValue' locale='ar' enableRtl='true'></ejs-calendar>
`
})
export class AppComponent {
public dateValue: Object = new Date();
ngOnInit(): void {
L10n.load({
'ar': {
'calendar': { today: "اليوم"}
}
});
}
constructor() {
