Magento2: Frontend: Datepicker/calendar control does not use the store locale

Created on 26 Aug 2016 · 19Comments · Source: magento/magento2

the frontend datepicker control (for example for the DOB field) is not localized: month names, day names and week start date are all using en_US.

Preconditions

Magento 2.1.0 CE
a non-en_US language pack is installed, which contains the translated month and weekday names, assuming de_DE for this issue
frontend store is set to use this language/locale

Steps to reproduce
Admin > Settings > Configuration > Customer > Customer Configuration > "Show Date of Birth: Require"
Admin > Settings > Configuration > General > Locale Options > "First Day of Week: Monday"
clear cache / rebuild static assets if needed
in the frontend, edit your account and use the datepicker of the DoB control

Expected result
the month names in the dropdown are translated
the weekday names are translated
the week starts with monday

Actual result
the month names are in english
the weekday names are in english
the week starts with sunday

Translation Fixed in 2.2.x Fixed in 2.3.x Clear Description Format is valid Ready for Work bug report

@lfritsche @robinkanters Seem's like adding block Magento\Framework\View\Element\Html\Calendar to the layout of required page resolves this problem (Magento 2.1.2 CE)

So I've added app/design/frontend/<Vendor>/<theme>/Magento_Customer/layout/customer_account_edit.xml with next content:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
    <body>
        <referenceContainer name="content">
            <block class="Magento\Framework\View\Element\Html\Calendar" name="html_calendar" as="html_calendar" template="Magento_Theme::js/calendar.phtml" before="-"/>
        </referenceContainer>
    </body>
</page>

@sevos1984
is there any update about this issue?
Our customers are not happy with the unknown date-formatting and I would need a solution quiet soon.
Thank you!

As far as I can see this is the only relevant commit; https://github.com/magento/magento2/commit/72e9e0732b98ea5b8f47bddc781dc47c688c3c58

And that is already in (at least) 2.2.3. But it still does not work.

I can confirm that it still does not work in 2.2.3. Should we reopen the issue?
