Localization in the JavaScript PDF Viewer
11 Feb 202624 minutes to read
The PDF Viewer supports localization of UI text, tooltips, and messages using culture-specific string collections so the interface matches users’ language and regional settings.
NOTE
Change the viewer locale by setting the
localeproperty in the viewer options during initialization or by assigningpdfviewer.localebefore rendering.
Default language (en-US)
By default, the PDF Viewer uses the en-US culture and requires no additional configuration.
