no effect of moment.locale('ja')

[hryktrd]

Hi.

I use multiple-date-picker-angular on angular8 project. I want to change language to japanese day and month letter.

But, I wrote this in component that use date picker

import * as moment from 'moment';
import 'moment/locale/ja';
moment.locale('ja');

it have no effect.

And then, I wrote this in dist/multiple-date-picker.component.js directly,

var moment = require("moment/moment");
moment.locale('ja');

under require moment. letters of month and day are changed to japanese.

Any other way to change locale?

Thank you.

Hi, Have you tried setting locale at your app level instead of a specific component?

[hryktrd]

I tried setting locale at app.component.ts by receiving your message, but it still don't change to Japanese.

my import section in app.component is follows

import { AmplifyService } from 'aws-amplify-angular';
import * as moment from 'moment';
import 'moment/locale/ja';
moment.locale('ja');

@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  templateUrl: './app.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./app.component.scss']
})

Thank you.

@balgopal14 Hi, Do you have repository that soluted this problem? I saw your profile but I couldn't find your repository that forked from this repository. Do you have it in private repository? If you can share source code, could you show me it?

Thank you.

@balgopal14 Sorry, I was overlooking your pull request. I'll try to change locale by using your repository. https://github.com/habilelabs/multiple-date-picker-angular

Thank you.

@hryktrd Just set the locale parameter in multi-date-picker like this <multiple-date-picker [locale]="locale"> It will change the language of date picker.

@balgopal14 Thank you, very much.

When I tried it, I could change the locale to ja, but I could change the locale only on the day of the week. Do you know how to change the month locale?

[balgopal14]

Hi @hryktrd, It changing the locale of month as well in my end. Could you please try to check this on page reload.

[hryktrd]

Hi. @balgopal14 I tried to clear cache and page reload, but month's locale didn't change to japanese. Which locale do you use? I'll try to use locale same.

And my usage is follows

<multiple-date-picker
      [(ngModel)]="holidays"
      [fontAwesome]="true"
      [disableDaysBefore]="true"
      [disallowBackPastMonths]="true"
      [sundayFirstDay]="true"
      locale="ja"
    ></multiple-date-picker>

Thank you.

Hi, @hryktrd

I used this as a dynamic feature. screenshot is from "sv-SE" locale

[hryktrd]

Hi, @balgopal14 I tried locale that same as you, but month's locale didn't change...

I couldn't under stand that your part of comment 'dynamic feature'. What's mean of it? And your screenshot looks like different from my screen. I use multiple-date-picker by default design. Are you using it by any customize?

Thank you.

Hi, @balgopal14

I'm sorry to ask you many questions

Do you have any idea to change locale of name of month?

Thank you.

[hryktrd]

Hi, @balgopal14 I solute this problem by fix locale to japanese only.

In your code,

moment.locale(this.locale || 'en-US') //dynamic locale

is not effective to month's format, so I move it to under of

import * as moment from 'moment/moment';

but this.locale is undefined here, so I fix locale to 'ja'. https://github.com/hryktrd/multiple-date-picker-angular

I'd be happy if the locale could be dynamically set to include the month, but I think a big change is needed.

Thank you.

[balgopal14]

Hi, @hryktrd Yes right a big change is needed for month. I'm not sure why but somehow its working on my end.

Thank you.
