Datepicker localization demo is broken

[scottgonzalez]

We don't load the i18n files on jqueryui.com, so http://jqueryui.com/datepicker/#localization doesn't work.

Doesn't really matter what we load on the site though. We need to get them into the demo iframe.

We don't even have those files on code.jquery.com.

So... do you plan to fix it somehow? Any advice how can I make localization work with datepicker?

[scottgonzalez]

@nerfur There's nothing broken with datepicker localization. This is just a problem in the demo where we don't load the locale data. Please ask for help on the forums or StackOverflow if you're having trouble.

wondered why the demo doesn't work. why not include i18n for the demo?

[scottgonzalez]

@googol7 Patch welcome. The files aren't available in a sane way. Do you have an idea for how we should load the files? I'm inclined to just make the demo use half a dozen locales and put them into the demo directory.

I think one example would be enough. So I'd just load one exotic locale - like chinese or something as an example (don't let users switch by this select box). And then you could just provide the download link to those other locales. It was not so easy to find them and then I also stumbled upon an old version which didn't work. So the correct download link would be very helpful here I think. Thank you.

Works for me: https://code.google.com/p/jquery-ui/source/search?q=i18n&origq=i18n&btnG=Search+Trunk

Didn't work for me: http://code.google.com/p/jquery-ui/source/browse/branches/labs/datepicker2/ui/i18n/jquery.ui.datepicker-de.js?r=3875

You shouldn't be looking at Google Code at all. We haven't used SVN for a very long time.

Hey guys - this is making me nutso - I can't get the localization working in the calendar because I don't see a single example of it working out there on the web, including the one place it should be working (the demo on the jquery ui site).

Get the example working please!!!!!!

[googol7]

we're about to implement a localized form here: http://www.gruppenreisen-frankreich.de/klassenfahrten/anfrageformular-fuer-klassenfahrten/

@scottgonzalez: you can take the example from there if you like

Fixed in jquery/jquery-ui@85dfcdf
