Loclization in WPF Schedule

Localization is the process of customizing the user interface based on a culture specific to a particular country or region in order to display regional data. The culture is represented by a unique string, for example, ―en-US‖ for U.S. English and ―fr‖ for French (common).

Localization is the key feature that provides solutions to global customers with the help of localized resource files provided by the control. The Scheduler supports localization, and you can create a resource file for any culture to be applied in the schedule.

Set Current UI Culture to the Application

Application culture can be changed by setting CurrentUICulture

    //Download resx files from GitHub. https://github.com/syncfusion/wpf-demos/tree/master/Schedule/Localization/CS/Resources
    System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("fr-FR");
    System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = new CultureInfo("fr-FR");
}
