Localization in .NET MAUI Calendar (SfCalendar)

By default, the calendar control supports US English localizations. You can change to other languages by adding the Globalization namespace to your application.

Setting CurrentUICulture to the application

The application culture can be changed by setting CurrentUICulture. in the App.xaml.cs file.

App.xaml.cs

using System.Resources;
using Syncfusion.Maui.Calendar;
using System.Globalization;

public partial class App : Application
{
	public App()
	{
		InitializeComponent();

		//// ResXPath => Full path of the resx file; 
		//// For example : SfPickerResources.ResourceManager = new ResourceManager("MauiTestCalendarLocalization.Resources.SfCalendar", Application.Current.GetType().Assembly);
		CultureInfo.CurrentUICulture = CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("ja-JP");
		SfCalendarResources.ResourceManager = new ResourceManager("ResxPath", Application.Current.GetType().Assembly);
		MainPage = new AppShell();
	}
}

NOTE

The required resx files with Build Action as EmbeddedResource (File name should contain culture code) into the Resources folder.

Localize application level

To localize the Calendar based on CurrentUICulture using resource files, follow the below steps.

1. Create new folder, named as Resources in the application.

2. Right-click on the Resources folder, select Add and then NewItem.

3. In Add New Item wizard, select the Resource File option and name the filename as SfCalendar.<culture name>.resx. For example, give the name as SfCalendar.ja-JP.resx for French culture.

4. The culture name indicates the name of the language and country.

   

5. Now, select Add option to add the resource file in Resources folder.

   

6. Add the Name/Value pair in Resource Designer of SfCalendar.ja-JP.resx file and change its corresponding value to corresponding culture.
