CalendarExtender and globalization.

Question

User-1577099521 posted

Hi. I noticed that CalendarExtender only works in English.

Although the Format parameter can customize the way it fills the textbox, there should be a way to display the calendar itself in other languages.

Since Ajax Extensions has everything needed to create a calendar in any language, it could have a property "Culture" that gets the current ASP.NET culture defined in web.config, or even no property at all, and just works like the Calendar in .NET, get the current UICulture and voilá. Even the format gets the a default format depending on the language.

 
thanks,.great job.

Hi. I tried your solution.

 
while the day names (mon, tue, etc) are translated, the header (January, 2007) and the footer (Today: January 28, 2007) are always in english.

 

Anything else?

I have the same problem. Day names are translated, the header and the footer are not.

If you look at the source .js, you'll see that "Today" is a hardcoded string.

I also need to globalize my CalendarExtender but I can't use the ScriptManager globalization, I have to customize it to be able to edit the month and day names to whatever text the user wants.  I've downloaded the .cs sourcecode in the toolkit but I'm a bit lost on how to recompile a custom version of the Extender and get it to be visible when I try to add it to my toolbox.

set the EnableGloblisation property of script manager true

and do the changes in calenderbehaviour.js

In particular, you must substitute this line in file CalendarBehavior.js:

1) this._title.innerHTML = visibleDate.format("MMMM, yyyy"); with

this._title.innerHTML = visibleDate.localeFormat("MMMM, yyyy");

2) dayCell.title = currentDate.format("D"); with

dayCell.title = currentDate.localeFormat("D");

3) this._today.innerHTML = "Today: " + todaysDate.format("MMMM d, yyyy"); with

this._today.innerHTML = "Today: " + todaysDate.localeFormat("MMMM d, yyyy");

Unfortunately, the string "Today" is mapped into the js file and it not parametrized.

 

And it's all done.

Bye, Thanks for the help to you all

Sorry, stupid noob-question. [*-)]

Where can I find the calenderbehaviour.js?
Even in the sample app I can't find the file.

 

Thank you.

It's compiled into the dll's resources. To change it you need to donwload the Toolkit's sources.

 

Then you either recompile or simply copy the CalendarBehaviour.js to your site and set it's path in the component's "ScriptPath" property.

Actually can translate the string "Today" by using UICulture

Step 1. Enable culturization in your page: <%@ Page UICulture="es" Culture="es-MX" %> for spanish, for example;

Step 2. Enable the scriptmanager to use the globalisation: <asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server" EnableScriptGlobalization="true"/>

and everything should work out as you wish for.
