I18NΒΆ
The plugin supports i18n for the month and weekday names and the weekStart
option. The default is English (“en”); other available translations are available in the js/locales/
directory, simply include your desired locale after the plugin. To add more languages, simply add a key to $.fn.datepicker.dates
, before calling .datepicker()
. Example:
$.fn.datepicker.dates['en'] = {
days: ["Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday", "Sunday"],
daysShort: ["Sun", "Mon", "Tue", "Wed", "Thu", "Fri", "Sat", "Sun"],
daysMin: ["Su", "Mo", "Tu", "We", "Th", "Fr", "Sa", "Su"],
months: ["January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June", "July", "August", "September", "October", "November", "December"],
monthsShort: ["Jan", "Feb", "Mar", "Apr", "May", "Jun", "Jul", "Aug", "Sep", "Oct", "Nov", "Dec"],
today: "Today",
clear: "Clear"
};
Right-to-left languages may also include rtl: true
to make the calendar display appropriately.
If your browser (or those of your users) is displaying characters wrong, chances are the browser is loading the javascript file with a non-unicode encoding. Simply add charset="UTF-8"
to your script
tag:
<script type="text/javascript" src="bootstrap-datepicker.XX.js" charset="UTF-8"></script>
$('.datepicker').datepicker({
language: 'XX'
});
