jquery-ui datepicker multiple language integration

I am trying to combine the different jquery-ui datepicker options into one function. I can get most of the script working apart from the language. I have all the i18n files, and I am using a select element to change the value. But nothing seems to be working. What I am doing wrong?

  <script>
  $(function() {
    $.datepicker.setDefaults( $.datepicker.regional[ "" ] );
    $( "#from" ).datepicker({
        defaultDate: "+4w",
        changeMonth: true,
        numberOfMonths: 3,
        showButtonPanel: true,
        showOn: "button",
        buttonImage: "../images/calendar.gif",
        buttonImageOnly: true,
        minDate:"+1d",
        dateFormat:"yy/mm/dd",
        showAnim:"bounce",
        onSelect: function( selectedDate ) {
    $( "#from" ).datepicker( $.datepicker.regional[ "en-GB" ] );
    $( "#locale" ).change(function() {
        $( "#from" ).datepicker( "option",
            $.datepicker.regional[ $( this ).val() ] );
          });
        }
                        
    });
    $( "#to" ).datepicker({
        defaultDate: "+2w",
        changeMonth: true,
        numberOfMonths: 3,
        showButtonPanel: true,
        showOn: "button",
        buttonImage: "../images/calendar.gif",
        buttonImageOnly: true,
        minDate:"+1d",
        dateFormat:"yy/mm/dd",
        showAnim:"bounce",
        onSelect: function( selectedDate ) {
    $( "#to" ).datepicker( $.datepicker.regional[ "en-GB" ] );
    $( "#locale" ).change(function() {
        $( "#to" ).datepicker( "option",
            $.datepicker.regional[ $( this ).val() ] );
            });
        }
    });
 });
 </script>

Well, it took me almost one full day to get the Localisation working on my jQuery DatePicker:

Step 1: Create a JS File with all the Translations for Month Names etc for all languages (for which you want the translations to appear) in one common file and name it as jquery.ui.datepicker-common.js (or what ever you like) (you can create separate JS files for all required languages as well and name as --jquery.ui.datepicker-fr.js for French File )

Step 2: Include this JS file in the webpage, where you want the translated values to appear.

<script src="Assets/JS/JQuery/jquery.ui.datepicker-fr.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

Step 3: Follow this example to make DatePicker use the translated language. Paste your datepicker name on DatePickerName. Paste your control name that hold the Current Language in hdn_Locale (as used in example).

$("#DatePickerName").datepicker({
         changeMonth: true,
         changeYear: true,
         defaultDate: "+4w",
         minDate: "+1d",
         dateFormat: "yy/mm/dd",
         onSelect: function (selectedDate) {
                               $("#DatePickerName").datepicker(navigator.userLanguage,
                                   $.datepicker.regional[$('#hdn_Locale').val()]);
         }
});

i managed to get this working i had wrapped the language in the jquery ui on select part which was no longer needed as i had declare the dateformat and mindate option previously heres the code once everything was working properly 

<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
$(function() {
    $.datepicker.setDefaults( $.datepicker.regional[ "" ] );
    $( "#from" ).datepicker({
        defaultDate: "+4w",
        changeMonth: true,
        numberOfMonths: 2,
        showButtonPanel: true,
        showOn: "button",
        buttonImage: "../images/calendar.gif",
        buttonImageOnly: true,
        minDate:"+1d",
        dateFormat:"yy/mm/dd",
        showAnim:"blind",           
    });
    $( "#from" ).datepicker( $.datepicker.regional[ "en-GB" ] );
    $( "#locale" ).change(function() {
        $( "#from" ).datepicker( "option",
            $.datepicker.regional[ $( this ).val() ] );
          });
    $( "#to" ).datepicker({
        defaultDate: "+2w",
        changeMonth: true,
        numberOfMonths: 2,
        showButtonPanel: true,
        showOn: "button",
        buttonImage: "../images/calendar.gif",
        buttonImageOnly: true,
        minDate:"",
        dateFormat:"yy/mm/dd",
        showAnim:"blind",
        });
    $( "#to" ).datepicker( $.datepicker.regional[ "en-GB" ] );
    $( "#locale" ).change(function() {
        $( "#to" ).datepicker( "option",
            $.datepicker.regional[ $( this ).val() ] );
            });
 });
//]]>
</script>

I have tried the code I have written below (adopted from your code) and it works. Maybe you forgot to include the jquery javascript for each language? I have only included three languages (e.g. french) as an example. Also I have the change event for the select option triggering on the language, rather than triggering on the onSelect.

I also tried your version of putting it into one function and that works except that because its triggering on the select it's necessary to select a date first before it will start to work, and then a language after that.

First version (in one function, works but problem that doesn't display in a language until a date is first selected):

<html><head><title>Test1</title>

<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.7.2.min.js"></script>
<link type="text/css" href="css/ui-lightness/jquery-ui-1.8.18.custom.css" rel="Stylesheet" />   
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery-ui-1.8.18.custom.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.ui.datepicker-fr.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.ui.datepicker-ar.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.ui.datepicker-af.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.ui.datepicker-en-GB.js"></script>
</head><body>

<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
    $.datepicker.setDefaults( $.datepicker.regional[ "" ] );
    $( "#from" ).datepicker({
        defaultDate: "+4w",
        changeMonth: true,
        numberOfMonths: 3,
        showButtonPanel: true,
        showOn: "button",
        minDate:"+1d",
        dateFormat:"yy/mm/dd",
        showAnim:"bounce",
    onSelect: function( selectedDate ) {
        $( "#from" ).datepicker( $.datepicker.regional[ "en-GB" ] );
        $( "#locale" ).change(function() {
            $( "#from" ).datepicker( "option",
                    $.datepicker.regional[ $( this ).val() ] );
        });
        }
  });
});

</script>

Second version (not in one function, also works, seems to work better to me because you don't have to select a date for it to change language):

<html><head><title>Test1</title>

<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.ui.datepicker-fr.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.ui.datepicker-ar.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.ui.datepicker-af.js"></script>
</head><body>

<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
    $.datepicker.setDefaults( $.datepicker.regional[ "" ] );
    $( "#from" ).datepicker({
        defaultDate: "+4w",
        changeMonth: true,
        numberOfMonths: 3,
        showButtonPanel: true,
        showOn: "button",
        minDate:"+1d",
        dateFormat:"yy/mm/dd",
        showAnim:"bounce"
    });
$( "#from" ).datepicker( $.datepicker.regional[ "en-GB" ] );
    $( "#locale" ).change(function() {
        $( "#from" ).datepicker( "option",
             $.datepicker.regional[ $( this ).val() ] );
    });
});

</script>
