::text datepicker(, "yyyy-mm-dd");

Version: 28.00.0500
OS: windows 10x64

Works fine here. Probably depends on regional settings. What are yours?

I am running on Win 10x64 22H2 Build 19045.6456 with german locale (see attachment).

I see three strange things happen:

1. ::text datepicker(); shows english date format (11/26/2025) instead of expected german date (26.11.2025).
2. There is also a mixed translation inside dialog datepicker: Button texts of dialog are not translated to german but textlabels are translated.
3. If I click days in range 1 to 12 the selected day leads to jump to that month (5 to may etc.)

Please find a short video showing that behaviour under https://ilflth8dyig8tfv8.myfritz.net:47 ... 17bc0b8245.

My last 32-bit xyPlorer 27.20.0100 is working normal on same settings - I upgraded it to 64bit.

Confirmed!

Fixed in next beta.

(Could not repro the mixed translation issue; maybe it's been fixed along with the other fix)

Mixed translation issue persists but other two bugs are fixed with 28.00.0900 - thanks.

Using MLS 8.400?

Mixed translation still there in latest version 28.00.1200

I'm running german language only (no other language pack installed) using following OS:
Edition Windows 10 Pro
Version 22H2
Installiert am ‎28.‎04.‎2021
Betriebssystembuild 19045.6456

Didn't really answer my question.

Sorry I wasn't aware of language file outside of setup.

please try to reproduce:
::text datepicker(); //01.08.2015 (in German locale)
Used MLS Reference64_8.400.lng

Datepicker shows labels for selected date, weekdays and combobox nameOfmonth in german translation independent from chosen xyPlorer language (tested with english/magyar/french).

Okay, I see it now.

But I won't change it. Getting the dates right for each language/region is too hard and not worth the pain. The datepicker dialog is locale aware (month names, day names, long dates) which will be fine for 99% of all users.
