Globalization is the combination of internationalization 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, DateRangePicker date format, week, and month names are specific to the 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. It allows to load culture specific CLDR JSON data by using
loadCldr
method.
To use a different culture other than English
, follow the below steps:
CLDR-Data
package by using the below command (Installs the CLDR JSON data). To
know more about CLDR-Data refer to the
CLDR-Data
link.npm install cldr-data --save
Once the package is 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 DateRangePicker 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 DateRangePicker. The DateRangePicker 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 |
---|---|
placeholder | Hint to describe expected value in input element. |
startLabel | Label to represent the start date. |
endLabel | Label to represent the end date. |
applyText | Text present in the apply button. |
cancelText | Text present in the cancel button. |
selectedDays | Text to represent selected days. |
days | Text represents days. |
customRange | Text present in the custom range button in presets container. |
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': {
'daterangepicker': { placeholder: 'Wählen Sie ein Datum aus' }
}
});
locale
property.The following example demonstrates the DateRangePicker in German
culture.
<template>
<div id="app">
<div class='wrapper'>
<ejs-daterangepicker id="daterange" locale="de" ></ejs-daterangepicker>
</div>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import Vue from 'vue';
import { loadCldr,L10n } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';
import { DateRangePickerPlugin } 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(DateRangePickerPlugin);
loadCldr(numberingSystems, gregorian, numbers, timeZoneNames);
L10n.load({
'de': {
'daterangepicker': {
placeholder: 'Wählen Sie einen Bereich aus',
startLabel: 'Wählen Sie Startdatum',
endLabel: 'Wählen Sie Enddatum',
applyText: 'Sich bewerben',
cancelText: 'Stornieren',
selectedDays: 'Ausgewählte Tage',
days: 'Tage',
customRange: 'benutzerdefinierten Bereich'
}
}
});
export default {}

The DateRangePicker supports RTL (right-to-left) functionality for languages like Arabic and Hebrew to displays
the text in the right-to-left direction. Use
enableRtl
property to set the RTL direction.
The following code example initialize the DateRangePicker component in Hebrew
culture and
also explains how to set the localized text to
the placeholder using
load
method of
L10n class.
<template>
<div id="app">
<div class='wrapper'>
<ejs-daterangepicker id="daterange" :locale="locale" :enableRtl="rtl" ></ejs-daterangepicker>
</div>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import Vue from 'vue';
import { loadCldr,L10n } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';
import { DateRangePickerPlugin } 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(DateRangePickerPlugin);
loadCldr(numberingSystems, gregorian, numbers, timeZoneNames);
L10n.load({
'he': {
'daterangepicker': {
placeholder: 'בחר טווח',
startLabel: 'תווית התחלה',
endLabel: 'ח',
applyText: 'להחיל טקסט',
cancelText: 'בטל טקסט',
selectedDays: 'ימים נבחרים',
days: 'أימים',
customRange: 'טווח מותאם אישית'
}
}
});
export default {
data () {
return {
locale: "he",
rtl: true
}
}
}

Representation of start and end date strings can be customized to required format
by using format
property.
By default, the format is based on the culture.
To know more about the date format standards, refer to the Internationalization Date Format section.
In the following sample, the date strings are formatted to yyyy-MM-dd
and in between the string “to” is set as a separator
.
<template>
<div id="app">
<div class='wrapper'>
<ejs-daterangepicker :format="dateFormat" :separator="seperate" :placeholder="waterMark"></ejs-daterangepicker>
</div>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import Vue from 'vue';
import { DateRangePickerPlugin } from '@syncfusion/ej2-vue-calendars';
Vue.use(DateRangePickerPlugin);
export default {
data () {
return {
waterMark : 'Select a Range',
dateFormat : "yyyy-MM-dd",
seperate : "to"
}
}
}
