Hi,
I am using the date picker and accordingly a calender pops up with dates and weekdays. However, the site is non-english so I would like to "translate" the weekdays (SU, MO, TU etc).
I tried to translate the GF files but as I understand the date function origins from some javascript so that did not work.
How do I do this?
Regards
Dale
Have a look at the localization information related to this: http://jqueryui.com/demos/datepicker/

Hi,
thanks for the link. Unfortunately I have no knowledge of jQeury and do not know where to start.
The dates should be translated into the Swedish languge and I think I have found the right file here:
http://jquery-ui.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ui/i18n/jquery.ui.datepicker-sv.js
Then I have found two files that seem to be of interest:
ui.datepicker.js
datepicker.js
The instructions tell me the following:
"The desired localization file should be included after the main datepicker code."
And here I am completely lost. I suppose it is the code I have refered to above but where exaclty should I include it? I have no idea where the 'main datepicker code' is.
Thus, all help appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Dale
Upload the script to your website and grab the path for it.
Put the following in your functions.php file for your theme:
http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_enqueue_scripts
Making sure the JS file you point at is the jquery.ui.datepicker-sv.js
This should make it so all your date pickers use the Swedish language file.
If not, then look at this:
http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Where_Do_I_Put_This_Code%3F
Put the following JS code in your head (or header.php) file:
$.datepicker.setDefaults($.datepicker.regional["sv"]);

Hi again,
I am sorry but I cannot make it work.
I placed the file jquery.ui.datepicker-sv.js in mydomain.com/wp-content/plugins/gravityforms/js/
Then I added the following code to functions.php
add_action("gform_enqueue_scripts", "enqueue_custom_script", 10, 2);
function enqueue_custom_script($form, $is_ajax){
if($is_ajax){
wp_enqueue_script("custom_script", "http://www.mydomain.com/wp-content/plugins/gravityforms/js/jquery.ui.datepicker-sv.js");
}
}No result.
Then I added the second code to header.php file of the the Genesis framework from Studiopress.
<?php
/*
WARNING: This file is part of the core Genesis framework. DO NOT edit
this file under any circumstances. Please do all modifications
in the form of a child theme.
*/
/**

*

*/
do_action( 'genesis_doctype' );
do_action( 'genesis_title' );
do_action( 'genesis_meta' );
wp_head(); /** we need this for plugins **/
?>
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
$.datepicker.setDefaults($.datepicker.regional["sv"]);
});
</script>
</head>
<body <?php body_class(); ?>>
<?php
do_action( 'genesis_before' );
?>
<div id="wrap">
<?php
do_action( 'genesis_before_header' );
do_action( 'genesis_header' );
do_action( 'genesis_after_header' );
echo '<div id="inner">';
genesis_structural_wrap( 'inner' );But still the dates show up in the English language.
As I have mentioned before - my knowledge of working with scripts is really limited and obviously I do something completely wrong here. So further help is appreciated.
Regards
Dale
Can you link to your form for me?

Hi
I'm having the exact same problem except I'm changing the date picker to 'es', I followed the instructions but the picker is stubbornly staying in English

Thanks Niall
Looks like the date picker is in Spanish to me?
