change the calendar control in WPF

Question

Is there a way to change the current calendar control in wpf or telerik? I am doing translation in my application. When I change language to Japanese, is there a way to include the Japanese calendar control instead of the English one.

Answer 1

Set the FrameworkElement.Language property of your control or apply the xml:lang attribute to the XAML of your control. The value you have to set is xml:lang="ja-JP".

from msdn CultureInfo

For example,

XAML:

<Window x:Class="WpfApplication1.MainWindow"
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
        xml:lang="ja-JP"
        Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525">
    <Grid>
        <Calendar />
    </Grid>
</Window>

Output
