Globalization is the combination of adapting the control 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
.
Add UseRequestLocalization
middle-ware in Configure method in Startup.cs file to get browser Culture Info.
Refer the following code to add configuration in Startup.cs file
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Builder;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Localization;
namespace BlazorApplication
{
public class Startup
{
....
....
public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IWebHostEnvironment env)
{
app.UseRequestLocalization();
....
....
}
}
}
The Localization library allows you to localize default text content. The DateTimePicker component has static text that can be changed to other cultures (Arabic, Deutsch, French, etc.).
In the following examples, demonstrate how to enable Localization for DateTimePicker in server side Blazor samples. Here, we have used Resource file to translate the static text.
The Resource file is an XML file which contains the strings(key and value pairs) that you want to translate into different language. You can also refer Localization link to know more about how to configure and use localization in the ASP.Net Core application framework.

using System.Globalization;

services.AddSyncfusionBlazor();
services.AddLocalization(options => options.ResourcesPath = "Resources");
services.Configure<RequestLocalizationOptions>(options =>
{
// define the list of cultures your app will support
var supportedCultures = new List<CultureInfo>()
{
new CultureInfo("de")
};
// set the default culture
options.DefaultRequestCulture = new RequestCulture("de");
options.SupportedCultures = supportedCultures;
options.SupportedUICultures = supportedCultures;
options.RequestCultureProviders = new List<IRequestCultureProvider>() {
new QueryStringRequestCultureProvider() // Here, You can also use other localization provider
};
});

By default, the DateTimePicker week and month names are specific to the American English
culture. It utilizes the
Blazor Internationalization
package to parse and format the date object based on the culture by using the official UNICODE CLDR JSON data.
The following steps explain how to render the DateTimePicker in German culture (‘de-DE’) in Blazor Web Assembly application.
using Syncfusion.Blazor;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Builder;
namespace WebAssemblyLocale
{
public class Program
{
public static async Task Main(string[] args)
{
....
....
builder.Services.Configure<RequestLocalizationOptions>(options =>
{
// Define the list of cultures your app will support
var supportedCultures = new List<System.Globalization.CultureInfo>()
{
new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("en-US"),
new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("de"),
};
// Set the default culture
options.DefaultRequestCulture = new Microsoft.AspNetCore.Localization.RequestCulture("de");
options.SupportedCultures = supportedCultures;
options.SupportedUICultures = supportedCultures;
options.RequestCultureProviders = new List<Microsoft.AspNetCore.Localization.IRequestCultureProvider>() {
new Microsoft.AspNetCore.Localization.QueryStringRequestCultureProvider()
};
});
....
....
}
}
}
blazor-locale
package, copy the blazor-locale
folder with required local definition file into wwwroot
folder.blazor-locale
package contains the localized text for static text present in components like button text, placeholder, tooltip, and more.SetCulture
method.@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Calendars
@inject HttpClient Http;
<SfDateTimePicker TValue="DateTime?" Locale="de"></SfDateTimePicker>
@code {
[Inject]
protected IJSRuntime JsRuntime { get; set; }
protected override async Task OnInitializedAsync()
{
this.JsRuntime.Sf().LoadLocaleData(await Http.GetJsonAsync<object>("blazor-locale/src/de.json")).SetCulture("de");
}
}
The output will be as follows.
wwwroot/blazor-locale/src/{{locale name}}.json
file.today button
and placeholder
in de
culture.[wwwroot/blazor-locale/src/de.json
]
{
"de": {
"datetimepicker": {
"today": "Heutiges Datum",
"placeholder": "Wählen Sie ein Datum und eine Uhrzeit aus"
}
}
}
The output will be as follows.
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.
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Calendars
@inject HttpClient Http;
<SfDateTimePicker TValue="DateTime?" Locale="ar" EnableRtl=true></SfDateTimePicker>
@code {
[Inject]
protected IJSRuntime JsRuntime { get; set; }
protected override async Task OnInitializedAsync()
{
this.JsRuntime.Sf().LoadLocaleData(await Http.GetJsonAsync<object>("blazor-locale/src/ar.json")).SetCulture("ar");
}
}
The output will be as follows.
