Globalization is the combination of adapting the component to
various languages by means of parsing and formatting the date or
number Internationalization
and also by adding cultural specific customizations and translating the text localization
By default, DatePicker date format, week and month names are specific to English culture. It utilizes the
Essential JavaScript 2 Internationalization
package to parse and format the date object based on the culture by using the official UNICODE CLDR
JSON data and it allows to load the culture specific CLDR JSON data by using
loadCldr
method
The DatePicker component supports only the Gregorian type of calendar. All the Essential JS 2 component are specific to English culture (‘en-US’). If you want 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.vue
file.loadCldr
method
to load the culture specific CLDR JSON data
from the installed location to app.vue
file.Sunday
as the first day of week based on default culture (“en-US”). If you want to display the DatePicker 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.//Load the loadCldr from ej2-base
import { loadCldr } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';
import * as numberingSystems from 'cldr-data/supplemental/numberingSystems.json';
import * as gregorian from 'cldr-data/main/de/ca-gregorian.json';
import * as numbers from 'cldr-data/main/de/numbers.json';
import * as timeZoneNames from 'cldr-data/main/de/timeZoneNames.json';
import * as weekData from 'cldr-data/supplemental/weekdata.json';// To load the culture based first day of week
loadCldr(numberingSystems, gregorian, numbers, timeZoneNames, weekData);
The
Localization
library allows you to localize default text content of the DatePicker. The DatePicker 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. |
placeholder | Hint to describe expected value in input element. |
English
, ensure that locale text for the concerned culture is loaded through load
method of
L10n class.//Load the L10n from ej2-base
import { L10n } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';
//load the locale object to set the localized placeholder value
L10n.load({
'de': {
'datepicker': { placeholder: 'Wählen Sie ein Datum aus', today: 'heute' }
}
});
locale
property. The following example demonstrates the DatePicker in German
culture.<template>
<div id="app">
<div class='wrapper'>
<ejs-datepicker id="datepicker" locale='de' ></ejs-datepicker>
</div>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import Vue from "vue";
import { loadCldr, L10n } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';
import { DatePickerPlugin } from "@syncfusion/ej2-vue-calendars";
// 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';
Vue.use(DatePickerPlugin);
loadCldr(numberingSystems, gregorian, numbers, timeZoneNames);
L10n.load({
'de': {
'datepicker': { placeholder: "Wählen Sie Datum und Uhrzeit",
today: "heute"}
}
});
export default {}

The DatePicker 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.
