# Globalization

The globalization process combines the translation of component messages with adapting them to specific cultures.

For more information on how globalization practices are implemented in Kendo UI for Angular, refer to the [overview article](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui-develop/components/globalization). For more information on the globalization aspects which are available for each component, refer to the article on [globalization support](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui-develop/components/globalization/globalization-support).

## Internationalization

The internationalization (i18n) process applies specific culture formats to a web application.

## Messages

The ToolBar and the FloatingToolBar support both [built-in](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui-develop/components/toolbar/globalization#built-in-messages) and [custom](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui-develop/components/toolbar/globalization#custom-messages) messages.

### Built-In Messages

To translate the built-in messages, utilize the [Angular i18n framework](https://angular.dev/guide/i18n). For more information on how to achieve this, refer to the article on [Localization](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui-develop/components/globalization/localization).

### Custom Messages

You can also override individual messages for each component instance by utilizing the attribute bindings. To use them, you do not have to set up the application for i18n.

> In i18n applications, message attributes take precedence over localized text from translation files.

The following example demonstrates how to customize the built-in messages of the ToolBar and the FloatingToolBar.

## Right-to-Left Support

The FloatingToolBar inherits right-to-left layout from its hosted ToolBar. The following example demonstrates the RTL support for the standard ToolBar.
