Hi Sten,

The DateRangePicker supports localization, however currently, translations are not available for every language and some of the localization files may be incomplete. This is a community-driven initiative and we would appreciate it if you can submit those translations.

Those messages could be updated by extending the localization files, as explained in this section of the documentation. The kendo.messages.da-DK.js contains the messages in Danish and may be used as a reference to extend the translated messages. 

If you would like to contribute to the improvement of the translation of widgets you can check this section for additional guidance.

Hi Peter,

By nature, the date range picker differs from the date picker. It utilizes the Kendo DateInput and therefore at this point this behaviour can not be achieved. 

However, if you would like we could convert this thread to a feature request. The most popular ones are considered for implementation in the planning process.

Let me know if I could be of any help.

Hi,

Internally, the DateRangePicker uses the Kendo DateInput. The placeholder comes from the date input which restricts the input of the user. At this point, the widget has no date input configuration exposed. However, you could remove them by destroying the date inputs:

picker._startDateInput.destroy();
picker._endDateInput.destroy();
picker._startInput.val('');
picker._endInput.val('');

This could be found shown at the following Dojo demo: https://dojo.telerik.com/OZeBekAM

Let me know if you have any questions.
