## Localize a DatePicker on Windows
|
||||
|
||||
For apps targeting Windows, ensuring that the <xref:Microsoft.Maui.Controls.DatePicker> displays dates in a format that's localized to the user's settings, including the names of months and days in the picker's dialog, requires specific configuration in your project's *Package.appxmanifest* file. Localizing the elements in the package manifest improves the user experience by adhering to the cultural norms of the user's locale.
|
||||
|
||||
Localizing the date formats and strings in the `<xref:Microsoft.Maui.Controls.DatePicker>` requires declaring the supported languages within your *Package.appxmanifest* file.
|
||||
|
||||
Follow these steps to configure your <xref:Microsoft.Maui.Controls.DatePicker> for localization on Windows:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Locate the Resources section.
|
||||
|
||||
Navigate to the `Platforms\Windows` folder of your project and open the *Package.appxmanifest* file in a code editor or Visual Studio. If using Visual Studio, ensure you're viewing the file's raw XML. Look for the `<Resources>` section, which may initially include:
|
||||
|
||||
```xml
|
||||
<Resources>
|
||||
<Resource Language="x-generate" />
|
||||
</Resources>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
1. Specify the supported languages.
|
||||
|
||||
Replace the `<Resource Language="x-generate">` with `<Resource />` elements for each of your supported languages. The language code should be in the form of a BCP-47 language tag, such as `en-US` for English (United States), `es-ES` for Spanish (Spain), `fr-FR` for French (France) or `de-DE` for German (Germany). For example, to add support for both English (United States) and Spanish (Spain), your `<Resources>` section should be modified to look like this:
|
||||
|
||||
```xml
|
||||
<Resources>
|
||||
<Resource Language="en-US" />
|
||||
<Resource Language="es-ES" />
|
||||
</Resources>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This configuration ensures that the <xref:Microsoft.Maui.Controls.DatePicker> will display date formats, months, and days according to the user's locale, significantly enhancing the app's usability and accessibility across different regions.
