German localization for Mobiscroll

Posted Over 12 years ago. Visible to the public.

If you are using Mobiscroll for date pickers on touch devices, here is how to localize the Mobiscroll UI into German:

var germanMobiscrollLocalization = {
  preset: 'datetime',
  ampm: false,
  cancelText: 'Abbrechen',
  dateFormat: 'dd.mm.yy',
  dateOrder: 'ddmmyy',
  dayNames: ['Sonntag', 'Montag', 'Dienstag', 'Mittwoch', 'Donnerstag', 'Freitag', 'Samstag'],
  dayNamesShort: ['So', 'Mo', 'Di', 'Mi', 'Do', 'Fr', 'Sa'],
  dayText: 'Tag',
  hourText: 'Stunde',
  minuteText: 'Minuten',
  monthNames: ['Januar', 'Februar', 'März', 'April', 'Mai', 'Juni', 'Juli', 'August', 'September', 'Oktober', 'November', 'Dezember'],
  monthNamesShort: ['Jan', 'Feb', 'Mär', 'Apr', 'Mai', 'Jun', 'Jul', 'Aug', 'Sep', 'Okt', 'Nov', 'Dez'],
  monthText: 'Monat',
  secText: 'Sekunden',
  setText: 'OK',
  timeFormat: 'HH:ii',
  yearText: 'Jahr',
  rows: 5
};

$('.date_picker').scroller(germanMobiscrollLocalization);
