Datepicker ngx-bootstrap

Question

I am trying to apply locale on old datepicker

https://valor-software.com/ngx-bootstrap/#/datepicker

I have tried evrything and i dont know where to look further, i can use the new one, but i have big solution that i have to stay on old datepicker

Here is what i have

my.module.ts

import { CommonModule } from '@angular/common';
import { DatepickerModule } from 'ngx-bootstrap/datepicker';

@NgModule({
    imports: [
        DatepickerModule.forRoot() 
    ],
    declarations: [

    ],
    providers: [

    ],
    schemas: [
        CUSTOM_ELEMENTS_SCHEMA
    ]
})
export class MyModule {
}

my.component.ts

import { defineLocale } from 'ngx-bootstrap/bs-moment';
import { de } from 'ngx-bootstrap/locale';
defineLocale('de', de);


@Component({
    templateUrl: './my.component.html',
    styleUrls: ['./my.component.scss']
})

export class MyComponent implements OnInit {}

my.component.html

  <datepicker formControlName="effectiveDate" [showWeeks]="false" [locale]="de">

Can't bind to 'locale' since it isn't a known property of 'datepicker'. :(

The legacy version of this datepicker does not contain a locale input. Documentation states This is a legacy version of datepicker without support of daterangepicker, locales, themes, etc. The newer version does have a locale, but it cannot be modified as an input property. Instead you use the BsLocaleService to change the locale. It should look something like this:

my.module.ts

import { CommonModule } from '@angular/common';
import { BsDatepickerModule, BsLocaleService  } from 'ngx-bootstrap/datepicker';
import { de } from 'ngx-bootstrap/locale';
defineLocale('de', de);

@NgModule({
    imports: [
        BsDatepickerModule.forRoot() 
    ],
    declarations: [

    ],
    providers: [
        BsLocaleService 
    ],
    schemas: [
        CUSTOM_ELEMENTS_SCHEMA
    ]
})
export class MyModule {
}

my.component.ts

import { BsDatepickerConfig, BsLocaleService } from 'ngx-bootstrap/datepicker';
import { listLocales } from 'ngx-bootstrap/bs-moment';

@Component({
    templateUrl: './my.component.html',
    styleUrls: ['./my.component.scss']
})

export class MyComponent implements OnInit {
   locale = 'de';

   constructor(private _localeService: BsLocaleService) {}

   ngOnInit(){
      this._localeService.use(this.locale);
   }

}

my.component.html

<input placeholder="Datepicker" type="text" formControlName="effectiveDate" class="form-control" bsDatepicker #dp="bsDatepicker">
