jQuery Datepicker localization

I need a french calendar and I can't understand the problem. I guess I'm not using the regional options like it should be. But...

Here is my code :

$(function() {
  $('#Date').datepicker({
      showMonthAfterYear: false,
      showOn: 'both',
      buttonImage: 'media/img/calendar.png',
      buttonImageOnly: true,
      dateFormat:'d MM, y'
    },
    $.datepicker.regional['fr']
  );
});

  isRTL: false, // True if right-to-left language, false if left-to-right
  showMonthAfterYear: false, // True if the year select precedes month, false for month then year
  yearSuffix: "" // Additional text to append to the year in the month headers
  };

In case you are looking for datepicker in spanish (datepicker en español)

<script type="text/javascript">
    $.datepicker.regional['es'] = {
        monthNames: ['Enero', 'Febrero', 'Marzo', 'Abril', 'Mayo', 'Junio', 'Julio', 'Agosto', 'Septiembre', 'Octubre', 'Noviembre', 'Diciembre'],
        monthNamesShort: ['Ene', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Abr', 'May', 'Jun', 'Jul', 'Ago', 'Sep', 'Oct', 'Nov', 'Dic'],
        dayNames: ['Domingo', 'Lunes', 'Martes', 'Miercoles', 'Jueves', 'Viernes', 'Sabado'],
        dayNamesShort: ['Dom', 'Lun', 'Mar', 'Mie', 'Jue', 'Vie', 'Sab'],
        dayNamesMin: ['Do', 'Lu', 'Ma', 'Mc', 'Ju', 'Vi', 'Sa']
    }

    $.datepicker.setDefaults($.datepicker.regional['es']);

</script>

That code should work, but you need to include the localization in your page (it isn't included by default). Try putting this in your <head> tag, somewhere after you include jQuery and jQueryUI:

<script type="text/javascript"
        src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jquery/jquery-ui/master/ui/i18n/datepicker-fr.js">
</script>

I can't find where this is documented on the jQueryUI site, but if you view the source of this demo you'll see that this is how they do it. Also, please note that including this JS file will set the datepicker defaults to French, so if you want only some datepickers to be in French, you'll have to set the default back to English.

You can find all languages here at github: https://github.com/jquery/jquery-ui/tree/master/ui/i18n

You must extend the regional options like this (code split on multiple lines for readability):

var options = $.extend(
    {},                                  // empty object
    $.datepicker.regional["fr"],         // fr regional
    { dateFormat: "d MM, y" /*, ... */ } // your custom options
);
$("#datepicker").datepicker(options);

The order of parameters is important because of the way jQuery.extend works. Two incorrect examples:

/*
 * This overwrites the global variable itself instead of creating a
 * customized copy of french regional settings
 */
$.extend($.datepicker.regional["fr"], { dateFormat: "d MM, y"});

/*
 * The desired dateFormat is overwritten by french regional 
 * settings' date format
 */
$.extend({ dateFormat: "d MM, y"}, $.datepicker.regional["fr"]);

PS: you also need to load the jQuery UI i18n files:

<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.11.1/i18n/jquery-ui-i18n.min.js">
</script>

If you want to include some options besides regional localization, you have to use $.extend, like this: 

$(function() {
   $('#Date').datepicker($.extend({
      showMonthAfterYear: false,
      dateFormat:'d MM, y'
    },
    $.datepicker.regional['fr']
  ));
});
