Locales, and it mirrors in Svelte
The same grid in English, Japanese and Arabic, which sets the grid right to left
locale · direction: 'rtl'
This shows the same grid in English, Japanese and Arabic, with Arabic laying the whole grid out right to left. It proves the grid adapts to a locale end to end, mirroring its layout for right-to-left languages rather than just swapping words.
This is the Svelte version. A use action attaches the grid to a plain element, so no framework runtime is passed in and the component stays small, while the configuration is ordinary Svelte state.
The configuration
<script>
import { createGrid } from 'https://cdn.latticegrid.dev/lattice-grid@1.108.0/lattice-grid.esm.min.js';
import 'https://cdn.latticegrid.dev/lattice-grid@1.108.0/locales/ja-JP.esm.min.js';

import createLatticeAction from 'https://cdn.latticegrid.dev/lattice-grid@1.108.0/modules/svelte.esm.min.js';
const lattice = createLatticeAction({ createGrid });
// The same grid and the same rows in three locales. Only the chrome and the
// formatting change: numbers, currency and dates read the grid's locale, and
// Arabic sets direction: 'rtl', which mirrors the whole grid, pin and all.
const locales = {
English: { locale: 'en-GB', direction: 'ltr', currency: 'GBP', titles: ['Product', 'Price', 'Updated', 'Share'] },
日本語: { locale: 'ja-JP', direction: 'ltr', currency: 'JPY', titles: ['製品', '価格', '更新日', 'シェア'] },
العربية: { locale: 'ar-EG', direction: 'rtl', currency: 'EGP', titles: ['المنتج', 'السعر', 'تاريخ التحديث', 'الحصة'] },
};
// Switching locale re-keys the block below, so the action rebuilds the grid in
// the chosen locale and direction.
let name = 'English';
$: L = locales[name];
$: config = {
rowKey: 'id',
locale: L.locale,
direction: L.direction,
columns: [

rows, // e.g. [{ id: 1, product: 'Desk lamp', price: 42.5, updated: '2026-08-01', share: 0.18 }, ...]
