Hi, I'm using a JS datepicker on https://en.speedy.net/ since 2017 and it works fine. It works both in English and Hebrew (which is RTL). I never found a need to use anything native to Django or browsers since the JS datepicker I'm using is great. I can customize the visible date format in each language and the names of the months. In the background it uses a hidden input in YYYY-MM-DD format.
