How to add locale with RTL in Xamarin.Forms Calender (SfCalendar)

2 mins read

You can change the localization of the calendar in Right-To-Left direction by using the Locale property and FlowDirection property in Xamarin.Forms SfCalendar.

XAML

Change the layout direction of the calendar in the right-to-left direction by setting the FlowDirection to RightToLeft.

<ContentPage.Behaviors>
<local:CalendarPageBehavior/>
</ContentPage.Behaviors>
    <calendar:SfCalendar x:Name="calendar" 
                    FlowDirection="RightToLeft">
    </calendar:SfCalendar>

Set the culture name of the arabic language as "AR" to the Locale property of Calendar.

public class CalendarPageBehavior : Behavior<ContentPage>
{
    SfCalendar calendar;
    protected override void OnAttachedTo(ContentPage bindable)
    {
        base.OnAttachedTo(bindable);
        calendar = bindable.FindByName<SfCalendar>("calendar");
        calendar.Locale = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("AR");
    }
}
