Question

I’m using the jQuery datepicker from jqueryui.com and I have a problem changing the calendar to Swedish, I have this code:

    <script type="text/javascript">
    $(function() {
        $.datepicker.setDefaults($.datepicker.regional['sv']);
        $("#StartDate").datepicker();
        $('#StartDate').datepicker('option', 'dateFormat', 'yy-mm-dd');
    }); 
</script>

Still it shows as an English calendar.

What might be missing?

Maybe you don’t have a language file:

Language files are here: https://github.com/jquery/jquery-ui/tree/master/ui/i18n

A new localization should be created
in a separate JavaScript file named
ui.datepicker-.js. Within a
document.ready event it should add a
new entry into the
$.datepicker.regional array, indexed
by the language code, with the
following attributes:
