Globalization

Updated on Mar 20, 2026

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. For more information on the globalization aspects which are available for each component, refer to the article on globalization support.

Internationalization

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

Messages

The Sortable does not provide built-in translated messages or the option to implement and localize custom ones.

Right-to-Left Support

The Sortable supports right-to-left (RTL) rendering for languages such as Arabic and Hebrew. To enable RTL mode, provide the RTL token from the @progress/kendo-angular-l10n package.

ts
import { RTL } from '@progress/kendo-angular-l10n';

@Component({
    ...
    providers: [{ provide: RTL, useValue: true }],
})

When RTL mode is active, the Sortable applies the following changes:

  • Sets dir="rtl" on the component host element, which mirrors the item layout direction.
  • Reverses the keyboard navigation so that the Right Arrow key moves focus backward and the Left Arrow key moves focus forward.

The following example demonstrates the RTL support for the Sortable.
