Hi Jiri,

Thank your for this update. 

Regarding the native workaround I suggested, it is different from the code you have provided. 

 String result = calendar.GetDisplayName((int)Java.Util.CalendarField.Month, Java.Util.Calendar.LongStandalone, new Java.Util.Locale("cs"));
calendarCell.Text = result;

I have used the GetDisplayName and set the locale in it, and also the LongStandalone usage of the calendar. Then the January was translated to leden. 

Regards,
Didi

use NET date formating instead of native

var ci = new CultureInfo("cs");
var netDate = new System.DateTime(2022, 1, 1);
var s = netDate.ToString("MMMM yyyy", ci); //correct leden 2022

var locale = new Java.Util.Locale("cs");
var calendar = Java.Util.Calendar.GetInstance(locale);
calendar.Set(2022, 0, 1);
Java.Text.DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("MMMM yyyy", locale);
s = dateFormat.Format(calendar.Time); //wrong ledna 2022

Hi Jiri,

Thank you for the provided information. We do not translate the month/day names. We use the locale to get the names of the days, months, etc. and display them in the calendar. This is not an issue in the Telerik UI for Xamarin Calendar control. 

However, I have changed the item to a feature request, as we can think about providing a property to manually set the formatter. 

For now the solution for iOS and Android is through a custom renderer. I have attached the files for the Android and iOS renderers. Using a custom formatter, the January in Czech is translated to "leden".

Didi
