How do I localize the jQuery UI Datepicker?

I really need a localized dropdown calendar. An English calendar doesn't exactly communicate excellence on a Norwegian website ;-)

I have experimented with the jQuery DatePicker, their website says it can be localized, however that doesn't seem to work.

I am using ASPNET.MVC, and I really want to stick to one javascript library. In this case jQuery.

The ajax toolkit calendar would be acceptable, if only it too would display Norwegian names.

Update: Awesome! I see I am missing the language files, a not so minor detail :-)

just in case anyone is STILL stuck on this, despite the other answers, I solved this with:

$.datepicker.setDefaults($.datepicker.regional['en-GB']);

note the extra 'GB'. After that it worked fine.

I solved it by adding the property data-date-language="it":

$(document).ready(function() {
  $('#TxtDaDataDoc_Val').datepicker();
});

$.datepicker.regional["vi-VN"] = { closeText: "Đóng", prevText: "Trước", nextText: "Sau", currentText: "Hôm nay", monthNames: ["Tháng một", "Tháng hai", "Tháng ba", "Tháng tư", "Tháng năm", "Tháng sáu", "Tháng bảy", "Tháng tám", "Tháng chín", "Tháng mười", "Tháng mười một", "Tháng mười hai"], monthNamesShort: ["Một", "Hai", "Ba", "Bốn", "Năm", "Sáu", "Bảy", "Tám", "Chín", "Mười", "Mười một", "Mười hai"], dayNames: ["Chủ nhật", "Thứ hai", "Thứ ba", "Thứ tư", "Thứ năm", "Thứ sáu", "Thứ bảy"], dayNamesShort: ["CN", "Hai", "Ba", "Tư", "Năm", "Sáu", "Bảy"], dayNamesMin: ["CN", "T2", "T3", "T4", "T5", "T6", "T7"], weekHeader: "Tuần", dateFormat: "dd/mm/yy", firstDay: 1, isRTL: false, showMonthAfterYear: false, yearSuffix: "" };

        $.datepicker.setDefaults($.datepicker.regional["vi-VN"]);
