Ten seconds to make flex DateField component speak Russian.

Sometimes I hate flex. Sometimes I love it. For example you need no time to translate DateField component to Russian. What I need is Russian date format, week starts at Monday and labels translated to Russian. Here you are:

  1. <mx:DateField formatString="DD.MM.YYYY" 
  2. 			  dayNames="['Вс', 'Пн', 'Вт', 'Ср', 'Чт', 'Пт', 'Сб']"
  3. 			  firstDayOfWeek="1"
  4. 			  monthNames="['Январь', 'Февраль', 'Март', 'Апрель', 'Май', 'Июнь', 'Июль', 'Август', 'Сентябрь', 'Октябрь', 'Ноябрь','Декабрь']"/>

As far as translation is needed in every place in project it's better to make subclass:

  1. package fbrg
  2. {
  3. 	import mx.controls.DateField;
  4.  
  5. 	public class DateFieldRus extends DateField
  6. 	{
  7. 		public function DateFieldRus()
  8. 		{
  9. 			super();
  10. 			this.formatString = "DD.MM.YYYY";
  11. 			this.dayNames = ['Вс', 'Пн', 'Вт', 'Ср', 'Чт', 'Пт', 'Сб'];
  12. 			this.firstDayOfWeek=1;
  13. 			this.monthNames=['Январь', 'Февраль', 'Март', 'Апрель', 'Май', 'Июнь', 'Июль', 'Август', 'Сентябрь', 'Октябрь', 'Ноябрь','Декабрь'];
  14. 		}
  15. 	}
  16. }
