Date and Time Picker Localization

RadDateTime Picker for Xamarin provides language localization. In short, you can translate the used across the Date and Time Picker texts to other languages, so that your app can be adapted to different regions.

To learn in details about the localization process of Telerik UI for Xamarin components, please go through the common Localization and Globalization topic.

The sections below list all the localization keys used in Date and Time Picker Spinners.

Date and Time Spinners Localization Keys

Localization Key	Default Value
DateTimePicker_Popup_HeaderLabelText	Select Date and Time
DateTimePicker_PlaceholderLabelText	Select Date and Time

Picker_AmPmSpinnerHeaderLabelText	AM/PM
Picker_DaySpinnerHeaderLabelText	Day
Picker_HourSpinnerHeaderLabelText	Hours
Picker_MinuteSpinnerHeaderLabelText	Minutes
Picker_SecondSpinnerHeaderLabelText	Seconds

Example with CustomLocalizationManager

The snippet below shows a simple RadDateTimePicker definition:

• XAML

<telerikInput:RadDateTimePicker>
    <telerikInput:RadDateTimePicker.SelectorSettings>
        <telerikInput:PickerPopupSelectorSettings IsHeaderVisible="True"/>
    </telerikInput:RadDateTimePicker.SelectorSettings>
</telerikInput:RadDateTimePicker>

In addition to this, you need to add the following namespace:

• XAML

xmlns:telerikInput="clr-namespace:Telerik.XamarinForms.Input;assembly=Telerik.XamarinForms.Input"

Create a custom class that inherits from TelerikLocalizationManager and override the GetString() method:

• C#

TelerikLocalizationManager.Manager = new CustomDateTimePickerLocalizationManager();

Set it as the TelerikLocalizationManager.Manager:

• C#

public class CustomDateTimePickerLocalizationManager : TelerikLocalizationManager
{
    public override string GetString(string key)
    {

        if (key == "DateTimePicker_Popup_HeaderLabelText")
            return "Datum und Uhrzeit Picker";
        if (key == "DateTimePicker_PlaceholderLabelText")
            return "Datum und Uhrzeit auswählen";
        if (key == "Picker_AmPmSpinnerHeaderLabelText")
            return "am/pm";
        if (key == "Picker_DaySpinnerHeaderLabelText")
            return "Tag";
        if (key == "Picker_HourSpinnerHeaderLabelText")
            return "Zeit";
        if (key == "Picker_MinuteSpinnerHeaderLabelText")
            return "Minute";
        if (key == "Picker_SecondSpinnerHeaderLabelText")
            return "Sekunde";
        if (key == "Picker_MonthSpinnerHeaderLabelText    ")
            return "Monat";
        if (key == "Picker_YearSpinnerHeaderLabelText")
            return "Jahr";
        if (key == "Picker_Popup_AcceptButtonText")
            return "Akzeptieren";
        if (key == "Picker_Popup_CancelButtonText")
            return "Stornieren";

        return base.GetString(key);
    }
}

A sample Localization example can be found in the DateTimePicker/Features folder of the SDK Samples Browser application.
