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 |
Common Picker Localizations strings
| Localization Key | Default Value |
|---|---|
| Picker_AmPmSpinnerHeaderLabelText | AM/PM |
| Picker_DaySpinnerHeaderLabelText | Day |
| Picker_HourSpinnerHeaderLabelText | Hours |
| Picker_MinuteSpinnerHeaderLabelText | Minutes |
| Picker_SecondSpinnerHeaderLabelText | Seconds |
| Picker_MonthSpinnerHeaderLabelText | Month |

Check in the image below how the localization strings are presented in Date and Time Picker:
Example with CustomLocalizationManager
The snippet below shows a simple RadDateTimePicker definition:
<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:
xmlns:telerikInput="clr-namespace:Telerik.XamarinForms.Input;assembly=Telerik.XamarinForms.Input"
Create a custom class that inherits from TelerikLocalizationManager and override the GetString() method:
TelerikLocalizationManager.Manager = new CustomDateTimePickerLocalizationManager();
Set it as the TelerikLocalizationManager.Manager:
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.
