changing language of jquery-ui datepicker

Question

hello im new to jquery and since my application is in french I want to change the language of datepicker to match it since not everyone who will use the app knows english

Here is my datepicker with jquery-ui as a simplified version:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/themes/base/jquery-ui.css">
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.12.4.js"></script>
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/jquery-ui.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function () {
   $.datepicker.setDefaults($.datepicker.regional['fr']);
   $("#datepicker").datepicker({
      format: 'DD-MM-YYYY'
   });
});
</script>
<input type="text" id="datepicker" />

Here is the link to the jsfiddle : https://jsfiddle.net/r1cpw2sn/ datepicker.setdefaults dosen't seem to work and I didn't find another option appart from putting all month name in an array which dosen't seem like a good idea to me

Any tips on how to make this work would be really appreciated

Have you included the French language file? github.com/jquery/jquery-ui/tree/master/ui/i18n — samiles
