Localization - Germany


  Calendar provides configuration properties that can be used to change the Calendar's various data labels, when the Calendar is used in different locales. This example shows how to provide locale specific labels for month and weekday names, as well as how to configure the expected format of any date strings passed in to the Calendar. It uses Germany as an example locale
