How do I localize the jQuery DatePicker?

Question

I really need a localized dropdown calendar. An English calendar doesn't exactly communicate excellence on a Norwegian website ;-)

I have experimented with the jQuery DatePicker, their website says it can be localized, however that doesn't seem to work.

I am using ASPNET.MVC, and I really want to stick to one javascript library. In this case jQuery.

The ajax toolkit calendar would be acceptable, if only it too would display Norwegian names.

Update: Awesome! I see I am missing the language files, a not so minor detail :-)

Answer 1

Check out this demo.

The source gives a good example of how to do it.

Answer 2

I figured out the demo and implemented it the following way:

$.datepicker.setDefaults(
  $.extend(
    {'dateFormat':'dd-mm-yy'},
    $.datepicker.regional['nl']
  )
);

I needed to set the default for the dateformat too ...
