Swift change date picker language

Question

I want to change format of month represent in my UIDatePicker. I tried:

self.datePicker = UIDatePicker()
self.datePicker.backgroundColor = .white
self.datePicker.datePickerMode = .date
let loc = Locale.init(identifier: "uk")
var calendar = Calendar.current
calendar.locale = loc
self.datePicker.calendar = calendar

After that, month representation suppose to be in ukranian, but it still in other language.

Did you try directly setting the picker's `locale` property instead of the calendar's `locale` property? — rmaddy, Nov 01 '17 at 14:07

You should assign loc to the date picker locale property:

let loc = Locale(identifier: "uk")
self.datePicker.locale = loc

Thanks for your answer, do you know way to change global locale so that each formatter would use it? – えるまる Jan 29 '20 at 08:14
