UI Kitten and Eva version

| Package | Version |
| ----------- | ----------- |
| @eva-design/eva | |
| @ui-kitten/components | |

Yes. There's several ways.

By default UI Kitten uses NativeService for handling dates (that is, using JS Date object), including any strings that are rendered by the Calendar components. That means that if your users' device locale is set to en-US they'll see months and days in English.

You can write your own Date Service, or use @ui-kitten/moment or @ui-kitten/date-fns and use their localization capabilities.

There's also a live example in the documentation on how to build your own sort of mappings between months, days and names.

@lesmo is correct. You may find a simple way to do this in the docs. For more flexible localization options, @ui-kitten/date-fns or @ui-kitten/moment modules can be used.
