you can do this by updating your apps (or just the widgets) locale:

await showDatePicker(locale: const Locale('de'));

'de' for germany, but pick whatever countryCode you require.

Don't you need to specify MaterializationDelegates in your root MaterialApp widget? Or is this optional? MaterializationDelegates are; localizationsDelegates: const [ GlobalMaterialLocalizations.delegate, GlobalWidgetsLocalizations.delegate, GlobalCupertinoLocalizations.delegate, ], – berkaykurkcu May 19 '23 at 20:01

so in order to display the date format. for e.g:

Text( '${DateFormat.yMd().format(_selectedDate)}'),
