# Date picker (UI SDK): Language

> `locale` sets the typed format, the hint and the calendar’s names. Without it, the picker reads the page’s `lang`. The buttons have English names, so pass `aria-label` to translate them.

## Add this example

```bash
npx shadcn@latest add https://hextaui.com/r/ui-sdk-date-picker-locale.json
```

This adds `components/examples/ui-sdk-date-picker/locale.tsx` with the Date picker component and the HextaUI theme tokens.

## Source

```tsx title="components/examples/ui-sdk-date-picker/locale.tsx"
import {
  DatePicker,
  DatePickerContent,
  DatePickerControl,
  DatePickerHint,
  DatePickerInput,
  DatePickerTrigger,
} from "@/components/ui/ui-sdk-date-picker"

function UiSdkDatePickerLocale() {
  return (
    <DatePicker locale="de" defaultValue="2026-12-03" className="max-w-56">
      <DatePickerControl>
        <DatePickerInput aria-label="Lieferdatum" />
        <DatePickerTrigger aria-label="Datum wählen" />
      </DatePickerControl>
      <DatePickerHint />
      <DatePickerContent aria-label="Datum wählen" />
    </DatePicker>
  )
}

export { UiSdkDatePickerLocale }
```
