Localizing Scheduler

By default, all labels in Scheduler are defined in English, but you can provide custom translations for:

names of actions ("Add", "Delete", etc.)
labels of the display modes ("Day", "Week", etc.)
labels of the form fields and controls ("name", "details", "colors", etc.)
labels on the buttons

The Scheduler widget package includes only en-US locale. Check our Locales repository for the language you need or create your own locale. Feel free to contribute your successful translation.

Specifying Custom Locale

To change the default locale, you need to perform the following steps:

1. Set custom translations by creating the needed locale (e.g. "ru") within the scheduler.locales object:

// Russian translations
scheduler.locales.ru = {
  Week: "Неделя",
  Day: "День",
  // ...
};

2. Define the current locale for Scheduler. For these purposes, set the locale property of Scheduler in its constructor:

webix.ready(function() {
  // use custom scrolls, optional
  webix.CustomScroll.init();
 
  webix.ui({
    view: "scheduler",
    url: "https://docs.webix.com/calendar-backend/",
    locale: {
      lang: "ru"
    }
  });
});

How to Switch Locales at Runtime

You can change languages dynamically, e.g. by clicking related switch buttons in the toolbar.

1. First, set custom translations to the desired labels:

scheduler.locales.ru = {  // Russian
    Week: "Неделя",
    Day: "День",
    // ...
};
// other locales

2. Switch between languages using Scheduler "locale" service and its setLang method:

{
  view: "segmented",
  options: ["en", "ru"],
  width: 250,
  click: function() {
    const locale = $$("scheduler").getService("locale");
    locale.setLang(this.getValue());
  }
}

How to Synchronize Scheduler and Webix Locale

The built-in labels of Webix components within the Scheduler, as well as date and number localization depend on the current Webix locale in use. To synchronize localizations of Scheduler and Webix, define webix parameter in the locale setting of the Scheduler constructor:

{
    view:"scheduler",
    url:"https://docs.webix.com/calendar-backend/",
    locale: {
      lang: "en",
      webix: {
        // switch Webix the selected locale
        en: "en-US",
        zh: "zh-CN",
        // other locales
      }
    }
}
