DropDownList

DropDownLists render predefined collections of alternatives and allow users to select a single value.

Globalization Support

Out of the box, the Telerik and Kendo UI DropDownList delivers globalization support which enables you to adapt the component to different cultures by providing options to translate its text messages (localization support) and also by allowing you to render its content in a right-to-left direction (RTL support).

Localization

By default, the DropDownList shows its messages in American English (EN-US). To change the displayed language, include an additional localization script file in the document, which will replace the default messages in the component prototype with their equivalent translations.

RTL

Right-to-Left (RTL) support represents the ability of a library, website, or application to handle and respond to users who communicate through right-to-left languages such as Arabic, Hebrew, Chinese, Japanese, and others.

The Telerik and Kendo UI DropDownList comes with built-in RTL support, and enables you to render its content and set its position from right to left.
