We’re excited to announce that second release candidate of Flex Calendar Component is ready to download.
As we’ve promised – compatiblity issues with various flex version are fixed now.

We’re providing you with two separate versions of Flex Calendar Component library:

flex-calendar_f4_1.0.0-RC2.swc – for flex 4.x

We’ve improved localization and internationalization support as well. You can see it working on our live demo – just go to the configuration panel (placed below date pickers) and change language in Localization section.

Bare on mind that portuguese localization files are now compiled into library.

Localization and internationalization support

admin — Mon, 28 Mar 2011 09:49:46 +0000

We’re supporting FlexCalendar localization and internationalization since 1.0.0-RC1. It is possible to add different locale. Month and day names are taken from Flex SDK properties files, and our labels are taken from FlexCalendar.properties file. Let’s assume that you have pt_BR localization files for Flex 3.2 SDK (if not, see: http://sujitreddyg.wordpress.com/2008/01/22/localizing-flex-applications).

Adjust your compiler settings to set compiled locales and locales path. In Project/Properties/FlexCompiler/Additional compiler arguments set something like:

-locale=pt_BR -source-path=../locale/{locale}

Next, create “locale” folder in your main Flex Builder project, with subdirectory “pt_BR”, put attached

FlexCalendar.properties

file in and change its content.
This file should contain properties for flex calendar component and it’s item editor:

calendarHeader.today = Today
calendarHeader.day = Day
calendarHeader.week = Week
calendarHeader.month = Month
calendarHeader.previousToolTip = Previous
calendarHeader.nextToolTip = Next
calendarHeader.labelFormat = EEE MMM DD YYYY

dayViewHeader.labelFormat = EEE DD MMM YYYY

editor.newItem = New item
editor.summary = Summary:
editor.description = Description:
editor.from = From:
editor.to = To:
editor.repeat = Repeat:
editor.repeats = Repeats:
editor.repeatOn = Repeat on:
editor.repeatsInterval = Interval:
editor.endsOn = Ends on:
editor.never = Never
editor.delete = Delete
editor.cancel = Cancel
editor.save = Save

editor.variantDaily = Daily
editor.variantEveryWeekday = Every weekday (Mo.-Fri.)
editor.variantMoWedFri = Every Mon., Wed., and Fri.
editor.variantTuesThurs = Every Tues. and Thurs.
editor.variantWeekly = Weekly
editor.variantMonthly = Monthly
editor.variantYearly = Yearly

You should see now localized version of FlexCalendar .

In order to change language, you need to set the localeChain property of resourceManager to “pt_BR”:

resourceManager.localeChain = [ "pt_BR", "en_US" ];

Tip: You should always include the “en_US” string at the end of localeChain. It protects you from displaying NULLs when no Portuguese translation for some properties is available.
