SplitButton

SplitButtons allow the user to either click a button to execute a default action, or open a drop-down list to select a predefined option.

Globalization Support

Out of the box, the Telerik and Kendo UI SplitButton delivers globalization support which enables you to adapt the component to different cultures by providing options for translating 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 SplitButton shows its messages in American English (EN-US). To change the displayed language, provide translated messages through the localization mechanism of your framework. For details, refer to the following framework-specific articles:

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, Persian, Urdu, and others.

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

Three variants of the Telerik and Kendo UI SplitButton component showing the right-to-left option displaying an icon-only SplitButton, an icon-and-text SplitButton, and a text-ony SplitButton.
