Globalization

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

The following example demonstrates how to:

• Change the date format and month names to Spanish.
• Localize the built-in Grid messages.
• Localize the column header messages.

Loading ...

The key points in the implementation of the above examples are as follows:

• Change Grid's built-in messages using the LocalizationProvider component and the loadMessages function.

Using the loadMessages method as follows will assign the texts in the esMessages object to the 'es-ES' language definition.

jsx

    loadMessages(esMessages, 'es-ES');

Having the above, by changing between the es-ES and the default es-EN languages(the language prop of the LocalizationProvider), we can switch the built-in messages of the Grid.

jsx

    <localization :language="spanish ? 'es-ES' : 'en-EN'">
            .................
    </localization>

• Change Grid's data formatting based on a specific country selection using the IntlProvider component and the load function.

Using the load function as follows will load the specific formatting for the Spanish language. You can notice that the numbers, currencies, caGregorian, dateFields and timeZoneNames are imported from file that has es in its URL. If we want to import the formatting configurations for French, for example, we need to update the URL from es to fr.

jsx

    import likelySubtags from 'cldr-core/supplemental/likelySubtags.json';
    import currencyData from 'cldr-core/supplemental/currencyData.json';
    import weekData from 'cldr-core/supplemental/weekData.json';

    import numbers from 'cldr-numbers-full/main/es/numbers.json';
    import currencies from 'cldr-numbers-full/main/es/currencies.json';
    import caGregorian from 'cldr-dates-full/main/es/ca-gregorian.json';
    import dateFields from 'cldr-dates-full/main/es/dateFields.json';
    import timeZoneNames from 'cldr-dates-full/main/es/timeZoneNames.json';

    load(
        likelySubtags,
        currencyData,
        weekData,
        numbers,
        currencies,
        caGregorian,
        dateFields,
        timeZoneNames
    );

Having the above, by changing the locale prop of the IntlProvider component, we can switch between the loaded formatting configurations.

jsx

    <intl :locale="spanish ? 'es' : 'en'">
        .............
    </intl>

• Change Grid's header messaged using computed properties passed to the title prop of each Grid column.

Internationalization

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

For more information, refer to:

• Kendo UI for Vue Native documentation on internationalization
• kendo-intl (the base Internationalization package on GitHub)
