Description Tony Chau

Build Identifier: I20100608-0911

Today the DateTime calendar widget takes the system (machine's) locale as default. It should allow developer to overwrite the default locale. 

We have a scenario that the application's locale is taken from the server, but there is currently no way to overwrite the locale in DateTime with the application's locale

Reproducible: Always

This may be a dup of:
Bug 248075 - DateTime does not support localization

Arun, do you want to tackle these when you look at:
Bug 339725 - DateTime.getSpokenText() needs to be locale-sensitive  ?

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got
resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some
reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it.
The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you
still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is
(for whatever reason) no longer relevant.

If the bug is still relevant, please remove the stalebug whiteboard tag.
