Change datepicker language

[Hashim]

Hi there,

Thank you for taking the time to read my support question. I realize that you're putting in your own free time to help and I want you to know that I really appreciate it!

Hopefully you can help me out with this. I've been searching for days in hope of finding a solution to this problem. But everytime I find something, it's in a way I can't understand it.

I'm using Ninja Forms for all my forms. And I'd like to make use of the datepicker in my form. But the datepicker isn't a Ninja Forms functionality. Ninja Forms uses the WordPress datepicker.

I want to have the datepicker shown in another language. And I found this piece of code which contains the translation for the datepicker:

http://jquery-ui.googlecode.com/svn/tags/latest/ui/i18n/jquery.ui.datepicker-nl.js

The only problem is that I don't what to do with this code in my theme. Unfortunately my website is in maintenance mode, so I can't show you my theme. But I'm using the Lifestyle Pro theme of StudioPress.

Could you give me some sort of explanation what to do with this code, so that the datepicker in my form shows in my preferred language?

Thank you in advance!

Sincerely,

Hashim

You should be able to just enqueue it in your functions.php.

Find the section that enqueues the Google fonts, and add this line

 //Add datepicker translation js
   wp_enqueue_script( 'translate_datepicker_js', '//jquery-ui.googlecode.com/svn/tags/latest/ui/i18n/jquery.ui.datepicker-nl.js' );

so it looks like:

//* Enqueue Droid Sans and Roboto Slab Google fonts
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'lifestyle_google_fonts' );
function lifestyle_google_fonts() {

	wp_enqueue_style( 'google-fonts', '//fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Droid+Sans:400,700|Roboto+Slab:400,300,700', array(), CHILD_THEME_VERSION );

    //Add datepicker translation js
   wp_enqueue_script( 'translate_datepicker_js', '//jquery-ui.googlecode.com/svn/tags/latest/ui/i18n/jquery.ui.datepicker-nl.js' );
	
}

The "translate_datepicker_js" is just a tag (name), I gave it; you can use anything. And then it just enqueues the js file that you listed.

I have not tested to see if this works or not. This is just how to add a jQuery script to your theme.
