I recommend to you use String resources to do it

resources>
    <string-array name="months_array">
        <item>Farvardin</item>
        <item>Ordibehesht</item>
        <item>Khordad</item>
        <item>Tir</item>
        <item>Mordad</item>
        <item>Shahrivar</item>
        <item>Meher</item>
        <item>Aban</item>
        <item>Azar</item>
        <item>Dey</item>
        <item>Bahman</item>
        <item>Esfand</item>
    </string-array>
</resources>

And then if you want it as a multilanguage create a new strings.xml named values-fa and then put inside this strings.xml it should be like this :

res/
    values/
        strings.xml
     values-fa/
        strings.xml

But if you want to change the DatePicker languague you should do something like this answer from @Igor K, maybe it helps :)
