Change the culture of Kendo DatePicker widget in the parameters area of the HTML5 Report Viewer

Environment

Product Version	13.0.19.222
Product	Progress® Telerik® Reporting

Description

The datepicker is a Kendo widget. That's why the Html5 Report Viewer (or any other Web-based viewer) localization will not affect its date representation. This KB article gives a brief description of how to set another language. The example will demonstrate the date representation in French.

Solution

1. Add the following script in the web page which holds the report viewer:

    <script src="http://kendo.cdn.telerik.com/VERSION/js/cultures/kendo.culture.fr-FR.min.js"></script>
   

   For example:

   <script src="http://kendo.cdn.telerik.com/2019.1.115/js/cultures/kendo.culture.fr-FR.min.js"></script>
   

   A list with all versions can be found here.

2. Then the culture of the Kendo widget must be set through the script below which should be placed before the report viewer's initialization:

   <script type="text/javascript">
       kendo.culture("fr-FR");
   </script>
