By default, Wijmo formats and parses data using the American English culture. The decimal symbol is a period, the thousand separator is a comma, and the days of the week are "Sunday" through "Saturday".
If your application targets other cultures, include references to the appropriate Wijmo culture files in your HTML pages. Wijmo includes over 40 culture files (see complete list below), and we have tools for generating new ones. If you want to target a culture that is not currently supported, contact us and we will create the file you need.
For example, to localize an application for the German culture, add this line to the head section of the page:
<!-- set German culture --> <script src="http://cdn.wijmo.com/5.latest/controls/cultures/wijmo.culture.de.min.js"> </script>
This fiddle demonstrates the result. Notice the formatting of grid values and calendar dates.
You can edit the values in the grid to see that globalization also works for parsing data. Wijmo's Globalize class allows you to format and parse values in your applications outside of Wijmo controls as well.
By default, Wijmo uses the American English culture, but for your convenience,
we have included several other cultures. They are located on the CDN, but you
can also find the files in your installation folder in
\Dist\controls\cultures.
The following cultures are currently included.
