 ## Added
 - Modernized `dcc.Tabs`
 - Modernized `dcc.DatePickerSingle` and `dcc.DatePickerRange`
+- DatePicker calendars can now accept translations as an external script, either with Dash's `external_scripts` or from the assets folder. See [documentation](https://date-fns.org/v4.1.0/docs/CDN) for the underlying library that supports this.
 
 ## Changed
 - `dcc.Tab` now accepts a `width` prop which can be a pixel or percentage width for an individual tab.
