Again: calendar in Spanish

I raise the subject again because I have had no answer to my former topic and maybe it got forgotten.
I have a client who is now between disapointed and angry because he does not want to work with a calendar on date input fields in English.
I have looked thru all documentation, the OS is Spanish, the keyboard driver is Spanish, the browser language is Spanish and the Site language is Spanish, but still the English calendar pops up, I can´t find a way to display it in Spanish.
Could someone please help me out here, I simply do not know what to say/promise.?

Hay Giri,

At this time, the calendar element does not support localization. It is in the roadmap, but I do not have an ETA.

Thank you for your answer, Yoav, although I am not too pleased about it. I was more or less afraid that this answer would come. Thing is, I need to solve it. So I already looked at the jQuery date picker. I was thinking of loading that into a html-component and then message the date back to a hidden date input field, while displaying it on a non-hidden text field. Would you advise this workaround or do you have another solution?

Hi Giri :frowning:
Yeah, that could be a potential workaround. You could put another datepicker in the html component and use postmessages to get the results to the Wix Code on the page.

Hat tip, Uval.

Hola Giri, I got the same issue and would really appreciate it, if in the sooner future we could use a date picker in different languages. How is your workaround with the jQuery and html-component doing? Could you maybe give a little more details how to implement this solution, I got stuck on connecting the date selected in the html-component to my dataset.
Many thanks

Matthias, I have been so overloaded with work that I have not had time for it yet. I did some research on the matter, though, and I have decided to go for flatpickr instead. It looks better and is more nimble. I hope I can get around to it next week.
