Finn Bock commented on CLK-650:
-------------------------------
I find it unreasonable to leave translations of day and month names to our
users. Including English, we have 10 translations. 5 of them (da, de, fi, fr &
pt) are so incorrect that the popup becomes useless.
Try picking a date in october with a german (de) locale and press Submit:
http://www.avoka.com/click-examples/form/extra-controls-form.htm
The field value is "20 Oct 2010" and mesages is:
Date Field ist ungültig. Das Datums-Format ist dd MMM yyyy
And for all the languages for which we do not have a .js file, we demand that
users must type in english month and day names! I would expect most uses of the
DateField to use a number only date format to avoid these issues.
I suppose we could generate cacheable javascript files with the correct day and
month names for each locale with a custom ant task during the build but I find
that to be overkill.
Re. multiple date fields in formtables, then you are right, that is bug in my
patch. The translations should only be added to the page once. I'll upload a
new patch.

> From CLK-624:
> Before we all go ahead and submit translations for month and day names (and
> abbreviations), I think it would make more sense for DateField to generate
> these names from here:
> http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/text/DateFormatSymbols.html#getMonths%28%29
> http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/text/DateFormatSymbols.html#getShortMonths%28%29
> http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/text/DateFormatSymbols.html#getWeekdays%28%29
> http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/text/DateFormatSymbols.html#getShortWeekdays%28%29
> By creating the arrays from java's names we will AFAIK also instantly
> "support" all language so that DateField.SUPPORTTED_LANGUAGES can be removed.
