js locale file doesn't loads when language is changed about django-datetime-widget HOT 8 OPEN

Hi, thanks for reporting this. Are you using usel10n? If so, then I would hope that the language in self.options is set properly on line 206 of the same file. I don't have a completely understanding of it though.

from django-datetime-widget.

Yes, I'm using usel10n parameter and yes, I'm getting right locale file (Russian).
But if I need to switch to another language (English), I'm still getting Russian locale file.
I think this is because self.options doesn't updates during language switch.

Hi, sorry, I'm trying to understand as I don't have much experience with locales. I think you have usel10n set to True and you're getting the Russian because that is you're current locale, but you'd like to use the English language set anyway? Does it make sense to disable usel10n and set the language yourself?

did you add 'django.middleware.locale.LocaleMiddleware', in your MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES list in settings.py?

Yes, django.middleware.locale.LocaleMiddleware is in MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES list in settings.py.
When I switch language, function get_language() returns correct code but self.options['language'] still has the old initial value.

I have this issue too. Locale middleware, l10n, i18n and tz support are enabled.

Switching the language causes the form to fail validation. Switching back to the previous language works though.

In my case, localization works well when you change your LANGUAGE_CODE to desire language in settings.py. The first time widget is loaded, it triggers the __init__ method of PickerWidgetMixin class, wich contains self.options['language'] = get_supported_language(get_language()) and show it well. When you change language settings at request level (in my case, with a cookie that alerts django to swich language) it doesn't trigger again, so I think the trick is here, triggerig this method per each request or setting widget js to desire language.

Any ideas?

I have also affected by this. I used @MuR solution but it would be better if there was a pull request and merge this feature with master.
@MuR thanks for the fix by the way.
