    javascript grid upload file

    IMPORTANT

    We have uploaded the predefined language packs for some commonly used cultures in this GitHub location. Refer to GitHub location for getting the predefined language packs for the corresponding culture. The culture file has localized texts for all the Syncfusion controls.

    Globalization

    The ej.globalize library is used to globalize numeric values in Grid control using format property in columns. Globalize values will be automatically used when locale property is set with locale string value for example en-US.

  • HTML
    • <div id="Grid"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
  $("#Grid").ejGrid({
      // the datasource "window.gridData" is referred from jsondata.min.js
      dataSource: window.gridData,
      locale: "de-DE",
      columns:
          [
              { field: "OrderID", headerText: "Order ID", textAlign: ej.TextAlign.Right, width: 75 },
              { field: "CustomerID", headerText: "Customer ID", width: 95 },
              { field: "EmployeeID", headerText: "Employee ID", textAlign: ej.TextAlign.Right, width: 95 },
              { field: "Freight", headerText: "Freight", textAlign: ej.TextAlign.Right, width: 75, format: "{0:C}" },
              { field: "ShipCity", headerText: "Ship City", width: 80 }
          ]
  });
</script>

    javascript grid localization

    IMPORTANT

    To translate our control content from default English to any of the culture, say For example - German language, then you need to refer the ej.culture.de-DE.min.js file in your application, after the reference of ej.web.all.min.js file. For all culture files, please download from the GitHub location.
