UIDatePicker locale does nothing?

Question

I\'m creating a UIDatePicker programmatically, and setting its locale with the following code:

datePicker.locale = [[[NSLocale alloc] initWithLocaleIdentifier:@\         


        

Answer 1

Try changing the locale of the UIDatePicker's calendar as well:

NSLocale *locale = [[[NSLocale alloc] initWithLocaleIdentifier:@"es_ES"] autorelease];
datePicker.locale = locale; 
datePicker.calendar = [locale objectForKey:NSLocaleCalendar]; 

Answer 2

As answered here Can I localize a UIDatePicker?, the picker display depends on country settings, not on language settings.

In your example you are changing the language locale only.
