Event Calendar - Localization

Translate UI labels and date formats to support a global audience.

The default locale of MUI X is English (United States).

Translation keys

Use the localeText prop to pass in your own text and translations. You can find all supported translation keys in the source on GitHub. The demo below customizes the labels of the view switcher buttons.

Locale text

Use the theme to configure the locale text:

import { createTheme, ThemeProvider } from '@mui/material/styles';
import { EventCalendar } from '@mui/x-scheduler/event-calendar';
import { frFR } from '@mui/x-scheduler/locales';
// Or import { frFR } from '@mui/x-scheduler-premium/locales';

const theme = createTheme(
  {
    palette: {
      primary: { main: '#1976d2' },
    },
  },
  frFR,
);

<ThemeProvider theme={theme}>
  <EventCalendar />
</ThemeProvider>;

The createTheme() function accepts any number of arguments. If you're already using the translations of the core components, you can add frFR as a new argument. The same import works for Event Calendar Premium, which extends Event Calendar.

import { createTheme, ThemeProvider } from '@mui/material/styles';
import { EventCalendar } from '@mui/x-scheduler/event-calendar';
import { frFR } from '@mui/x-scheduler/locales';
import { frFR as pickersFrFR } from '@mui/x-date-pickers/locales';
import { frFR as coreFrFR } from '@mui/material/locale';

const theme = createTheme(
  {
    palette: {
      primary: { main: '#1976d2' },
    },
  },
  frFR, // x-scheduler translations
  pickersFrFR, // x-date-pickers translations
  coreFrFR, // core translations
);

<ThemeProvider theme={theme}>
  <EventCalendar />
</ThemeProvider>;

To pass language translations directly to the Event Calendar without using createTheme() and ThemeProvider, load them from @mui/x-scheduler/locales.

import { EventCalendar } from '@mui/x-scheduler/event-calendar';
import { frFR } from '@mui/x-scheduler/locales';

<EventCalendar
  localeText={frFR.components.MuiEventCalendar.defaultProps.localeText}
/>;

Date locale

The localeText prop only translates the UI labels (button text, menu items, etc.). To also translate formatted dates (day names, month names, and week start day), pass a date-fns locale object.

Use the createDateLocaleTheme helper to set the date locale globally via the theme, alongside localeText translations:

import { createTheme, ThemeProvider } from '@mui/material/styles';
import { fr } from 'date-fns/locale/fr';
import { frFR, createDateLocaleTheme } from '@mui/x-scheduler/locales';
import { EventCalendar } from '@mui/x-scheduler/event-calendar';

const theme = createTheme(
  {
    palette: {
      primary: { main: '#1976d2' },
    },
  },
  frFR,
  createDateLocaleTheme(fr),
);

<ThemeProvider theme={theme}>
  <EventCalendar />
</ThemeProvider>;

You can pass the dateLocale prop directly to the component to override the theme value or avoid using a theme:

import { fr } from 'date-fns/locale/fr';
import { EventCalendar } from '@mui/x-scheduler/event-calendar';

<EventCalendar dateLocale={fr} />;
