 == **Reproduction Report**

 **Description**
 This report documents testing performed to validate whether the reported
 issue can be reproduced.

 **Environment**

 - WordPress: trunk (latest)
 - PHP: 8.2
 - Server: Local development environment
 - Database: MySQL
 - Browsers: Chrome, Edge
 - OS: (Window 10)
 - Theme: Default theme (latest)
 - MU Plugins: None
 - Plugins: Custom test plugin (see below)

 **Steps Taken**

 - Changed the site language to Hindi, then repeated the test with
 Gujarati.
 - Created and activated a custom test plugin to enqueue jQuery UI
 Datepicker in the footer:

 {{{

 <?php
 /**
  * Plugin Name: Datepicker Footer Test
  */

 add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', function () {
     wp_enqueue_script(
         'jquery-ui-datepicker',
         false,
         array( 'jquery-ui-core' ),
         false,
         true // Enqueue in footer
     );
 } );

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

 - Visited the frontend and initialized the datepicker input.
 - Tested the behavior in Chrome and Edge browsers.
 - Screenshots were taken during testing.

 **Actual Results**

 ❌ The reported issue could not be reproduced.
 The datepicker loaded in the footer was localized correctly in both Hindi
 and Gujarati without applying the patch.
