Internationalisation

All of the text fields displayed to the end user by the DateTime input can be customised during initialisation of the DateTime control through its i18n configuration option. This example demonstrates that by displaying all string in French.

Note that you will likely wish to also use the format option to customise the display of the date / time value into a format that will be familiar to your end users.
