How to use localization on DatePicker?

Question

Hi guys! I know I can set the header texts but I'd like to change the "Cancel" button text. Is there any way to do this?

Hi Márcio,Greetings from Syncfusion.We don't have direct support for changing the default text of the footer buttons (Cancel, Ok). But you can achieve this requirement by using custom view along with the localization support and created a simple sample for your reference.Please download the sample from the below link.Sample: https://www.syncfusion.com/downloads/support/directtrac/general/ze/PickerLocalization18360180201692545619 Please let us know if you have any concerns.Regards,Suganya Sethuraman.

Hi Suganya, thanks for your help.I ran your sample and it worked good, but I would like to use the Portuguese Brazilian language (pt-BR) and seems there is no suport for this, right?

Hi Suganya, thanks again!I need to call the SetLocale only to localize at application level, right? Or I need even if I want to use the default device settings?Márcio

Hi Márcio,Thanks for the update.We need to call the SetLocale only to localize at application level for Ok and Cancel button text, we don’t change the default device settings.Regards,Suganya Sethuraman.

I tried to sample and Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture, but if the device has other language, the datepicker load the language of device and skip Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture

the link https://www.github.com/xamarin/Xamarin.Forms/issues/8141 is the same issue?

Suganya Sethuraman · Answer

Hi Carlos,We have analyzed the reported issue. The device culture is Arabic, and we used "pt-BR" at the application level. However, “pt-BR” culture is applied to the application. Since we are unable to reproduce the issue “if the device has other language, the datepicker load the language of device and skip Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture”, we would like you to check the issue with the attached sample and video. Please let us know if it is reproduced. Else, please revert to us by modifying the sample based on your application and provide the replication procedure or the sample. It will be helpful for us to provide a better solution at the earliest.Sample: https://www.syncfusion.com/downloads/support/directtrac/general/ze/PickerLocalization1836018020995624667 Video: https://www.syncfusion.com/downloads/support/directtrac/general/ze/Picker_Localization382112824 Regards,Suganya Sethuraman.
