Calendar & Scheduling localization

Hi,

The finnish translations are not correct in the calendar component. We would like to change the translations for names of days and month, in the calendar component. As far as we know, this is not possible. We can only change 4 texts (4 calendar views localization keys) according to this documentation: https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/xamarin/controls/calendar/calendar-localization

Localization works, and we can set the language. But for the finnish language, the translations you provide for days and months are not correct. We would like to be able to change these texts ourselves, name of days and months. Is there any way for us to do this? We need the Finnish translations to be correct.

 

Thank you!

 

Best Regards,

Joakim

Hi Joakim,

We are using the long Month names that come from the system locale and we have no additional logic regarding this.  I see that long month names (ending with *ta) are also used in some places in the Android calendar.

I understand that you'd like to use the short names instead - the names can be changed through custom renderers on Android and iOS.

Please find attached a sample solution which shows how this can be achieved - go to the CustomCalendarRenderer file inside the Android project as well as to AppDelegate.cs inside the iOS project.

I've updated the status of this item to "Declined" as we do not consider it as a bug on our side.

Check the example and let me know if you have any additional questions or concerns on this.

Regards,
Yana

Hi Yana,

Thank you for your reply. I have noticed that there are some differences between RadCalendar and the system device calendars. I can also see that in your attached image. For example the month name. It should be "syyskuu" and not "syyskuuta". Basically, the month names should not end with "ta", and according to the finnish people we are working with, the names of days should not end with "na". For example maanantaina should be maanantai, and tiistaina should be tiistai.

Please let me know if we could change this.

Thanks!

Regards,
Joakim

Hi Joakim,

The names of the days and months come from the system locale of both Android and iOS devices - we do not provide the translations and that's why they cannot be changed through resource keys.

I have checked the names in Finnish and I couldn't find a difference in RadCalendar from the Android device Calendar (take a look at the attached image). Could you elaborate more on the issue - what names are not correct?

I look forward to your reply.

Regards,
Yana
