<h2>
    Globalizing Wijmo Applications</h2>
<p>
    By default, Wijmo formats and parses data using the American English culture.
    The decimal symbol is a period, the thousand separator is a comma, and the 
    days of the week are "Sunday" through "Saturday".</p>
<p>
    If your application targets other cultures, include references to the appropriate 
    Wijmo culture files in your HTML pages. Wijmo includes over 40 culture files 
    (see complete list below), and we have tools for generating new ones.
    If you want to target a culture that is not currently supported, contact
    us and we will create the file you need.</p>
<p>
    For example, to localize an application for the German culture, add this line to
    the head section of the page:</p>

<pre>&lt;!-- set German culture --&gt;
&lt;script src="https://cdn.grapecity.com/wijmo/5.latest/controls/cultures/wijmo.culture.de.min.js"&gt;
&lt;/script&gt;</pre>

<p>
    This fiddle demonstrates the result. Notice the formatting of grid values and 
    calendar dates.</p>
<p>
  <div class="member-panel example">
    <h3 class="node collapsed">
      Example: Globalization
    </h3>
    <div class="fiddle">
      <script async src="https://jsfiddle.net/Wijmo5/wK97R/embed/result,html,js,css"></script>
    </div>
  </div>
</p>
<p>
    You can edit the values in the grid to see that globalization also works for 
    parsing data. Wijmo's <a href="topic/wijmo.Globalize.Class.html">Globalize</a>
    class allows you to format and parse values in your applications outside of 
    Wijmo controls as well.</p>

<h3>
    Included Cultures</h3>
<p>
    By default, Wijmo uses the American English culture, but for your convenience, 
    we have included several other cultures. They are located on the CDN, but you 
    can also find the files in your installation folder in
    <code>\Dist\controls\cultures</code>.
    The following cultures are currently included.</p>
