jQuery Datepicker Japanese Calendar

Question

I am developing a Japanese Website and it seems an English Calendar is hard for them. How can I change this Calendar to Japanese Text or any local language. I am using PHP

$('#datepicker').datepicker({
  autoclose: true
})

What else i can add on this jquery code to change the language

Answer 1

Create your own language object for date picker:

$.datepicker.setDefaults($.datepicker.regional['ja']);
$('#datepicker').datepicker({
  autoclose: true,
   language: 'ja'
})

update Text with the Japanese language in following code

   $.datepicker.regional['ja'] = {
  "closeText": "Done",
  "prevText": "Prev",
  "nextText": "Next",
  "currentText": "Today",
  "monthNames": [
    "January",

    "September",
    "October",
    "November",
    "December"
  ],
  "monthNamesShort": [
    "Jan",
    "Feb",
    "Mar",

    "Sep",
    "Oct",
    "Nov",
    "Dec"
  ],
  "dayNames": [

  ],
  "dayNamesMin": [
    "Su",
    "Mo",
    "Tu",
    "We",
    "Th",
    "Fr",
    "Sa"
  ],
  "weekHeader": "Wk",
