## API

There are four kinds of picker:

- DatePicker
- MonthPicker
- RangePicker
- WeekPicker

### Localization

The default locale is en-US, if you need to use other languages, recommend to use internationalized components provided by us at the entrance. Look at: [LocaleProvider](http://ant.design/components/locale-provider/).

If there are special needs (only modifying single component language), Please use the property: local. Example: [default](https://github.com/ant-design/ant-design/blob/master/components/date-picker/locale/example.json).

```jsx
import locale from 'antd/lib/date-picker/locale/zh_CN';

<DatePicker locale={locale} />
```

**Note:** Part of locale of DatePicker, MonthPicker, RangePicker, WeekPicker is read from value. So, please set the locale of moment correctly.

```jsx
// The default locale is en-US, if you want to use other locale, just set locale in entry file globally.
import moment from 'moment';
import 'moment/locale/zh-cn';

<DatePicker defaultValue={moment('2015-01-01', 'YYYY-MM-DD')} />
```
