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, the date format, week, month, time format and meridian names are specific to the American 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 provides the loadCldr method to load culture specific CLDR JSON data. To use a different culture other
than English, follow the steps below:
CLDR-Data package by using the following command (installs all the CLDR JSON data). To
know more about CLDR-Data refer to the CLDR-Data link.npm install cldr-data --saveOnce 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 DateTimePicker 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
Localizationlibrary allows you to localize default text content of the DateTimePicker. The DateTimePicker component has static text for today feature that can be changed to other cultures (Arabic, Deutsch, French, etc.) by defining thelocalevalue 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, loadCldr from ej2-base
import { loadCldr, L10n } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';
//load the locale object to set the localized placeholder value
L10n.load({
'de': {
'datetimepicker': { placeholder: 'Wählen Sie ein Datum und eine Uhrzeit aus', today: 'heute' }
}
});locale
property.The following example demonstrates the DateTimePicker in German culture.
<template>
<div id="app">
<div class='wrapper'>
<ejs-datetimepicker id="datetime" locale="de" ></ejs-datetimepicker>
</div>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import Vue from 'vue';
import { loadCldr,L10n} from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';
import { DateTimePickerPlugin } 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(DateTimePickerPlugin);
loadCldr(numberingSystems, gregorian, numbers, timeZoneNames);
L10n.load({
'de': {
'datetimepicker': { placeholder: "Wählen Sie Datum und Uhrzeit",
today: "heute"}
}
});
export default {}
</script>

.wrapper {

}
</style>The DateTimePicker 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 DateTimePicker component in Arabic 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-datetimepicker id="datetime" :locale="locale" :enableRtl="rtl" ></ejs-datetimepicker>
</div>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import Vue from 'vue';
import { loadCldr,L10n} from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';
import { DateTimePickerPlugin } 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(DateTimePickerPlugin);
loadCldr(numberingSystems, gregorian, numbers, timeZoneNames);
L10n.load({
'ar': {
'datetimepicker': { placeholder: 'حدد التاريخ والوقت',
today: 'اليوم'}
}
});
export default {
data () {
return {
locale: "ar",
rtl: true
}
}
}
