Localization in Flutter Event Calendar (SfCalendar)

6 Jun 20235 minutes to read

By default, the calendar widget supports US English localizations. You can change the other languages by specifying the MaterialApp properties and adding the flutter_localizations package to your application.

To use flutter_localizations, add the package as dependency to pubspec.yaml file.

  • DART
  • dependencies:
    flutter_localizations:
      sdk: flutter

    Next, import the flutter_localizations library and specify localizationsDelegates and supportedLocales for MaterialApp.

    import 'package:flutter_localizations/flutter_localizations.dart';
    
    @override
    Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
            localizationsDelegates: [
                GlobalMaterialLocalizations.delegate,
                GlobalWidgetsLocalizations.delegate,
            ],
            supportedLocales: [
                const Locale('zh'),
                const Locale('ar'),
                const Locale('ja'),
            ],
            locale: const Locale('zh'),
            title: 'Calendar Localization',
            home: Scaffold(
                appBar: AppBar(
                title: Text('Calendar'),
                ),
                body: SfCalendar(
                view: CalendarView.month,
                ),
           ),
       );
    }

    Localize the custom text in Calendar

    Calendar custom text can be localized using the syncfusion_localizations package and specifying localizationsDelegates in MaterialApp.

    To use syncfusion_localizations, add the package as dependency to pubspec.yaml file.

  • DART
  • dependencies:
    syncfusion_localizations: ^18.1.36

    Next, import the syncfusion_localizations library.

  • DART
  • import 'package:syncfusion_localizations/syncfusion_localizations.dart';

    Then, declare the SfGlobalLocalizations.delegate in the localizationsDelegates, which is used to localize the custom string (No events, No selected date) using in calendar and specify the supportedLocales as well.

    @override
    Widget build(BuildContext context) {
            return MaterialApp(
                    localizationsDelegates: [
                            GlobalMaterialLocalizations.delegate,
                            GlobalWidgetsLocalizations.delegate,
                            SfGlobalLocalizations.delegate
                    ],
                    supportedLocales: [
                            const Locale('zh'),
                            const Locale('ar'),
                            const Locale('ja'),
                    ],
                    locale: const Locale('zh'),
                    title: 'Calendar Localization',
                    home: Scaffold(
                    appBar: AppBar(
                        title: Text('Calendar'),
                        ),
                        body: SfCalendar(
                        view: CalendarView.month,
                    ),
             ),
         );
    }
