Stephan Bublava commented on JBSEAM-623:
----------------------------------------

The changes had only limited testing and should be reviewed, especially the "first day of the week" changes (if you want them at all).

>             Project: JBoss Seam
>          Issue Type: Patch
>          Components: JSF
>    Affects Versions: 1.1.0.GA

> Currently <s:selectDate> is not locale-aware. This affects day names, month names, buttons as well as the date string written to the text field via JavaScript.
> selectdate-localization-patch.txt is a first step to improve this.
> Changes include:
> - Weekends use a distinct CSS style and can be highlighted if desired. (I've changed the booking example to demonstrate this).
> - The first day of the week is no longer harcoded to Sunday, but calculated according to the current locale settings (e.g. Monday for German).
> - Day and month names are localised as well.
> Open issues:
> - Weekends are hardcoded to Saturday and Sunday. I have no idea how determine this info using Calendar, &c. APIs.
> - Date formats are not kept in sync between JSF and JavaScript, which always uses MM/DD/YYYY, regardless of the locale.
> - Button names ("close", "this month") are still hardcoded.
> - It might be more flexible, to translate day / month names with the application ResourceBundle instead of using DateFormatSymbols.
