  */

 add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'enqueue_footer_datepicker');
 function enqueue_footer_datepicker() {
     // Enqueue jQuery UI Datepicker in the footer
     wp_enqueue_script('jquery-ui-datepicker', '', [], false, true);

     // Enqueue jQuery UI CSS (optional, for styling)
     wp_enqueue_style('jquery-ui-style',

 }

 add_action( 'wp_footer', function () {
     ?>
     <input type="text" id="test-datepicker" />
     <script>
         jQuery(function($){
             $('#test-datepicker').datepicker();
         });
     </script>
     <?php
 } );
 }}}


 2. Change site language to Hindi
 3. Visit homepage
 4. Click data field at the footer
 5. View the calendar
 6. Repet the same steps for Gujarati
 7. ❌ Bug is not occurring. The datepicker loaded in the footer was
 localized correctly in both `Hindi` and `Gujarati` without applying the
 patch.
