JavaScript Calendar
In the JavaScript Calendar, you can set the locale using the locale property. The locale defines the default date/time format patterns, as well as day and week names and the first day of week.
The calendar includes many built-in locales. You can also add your own locale or customize an existing one.
Example:
calendar.update({
locale: "de-de"
});
