            Description

            While it's possible to use localized labels in ace:dateTimeEntry (e.g. by setting the 'locale' attribute of the containing f:view tag), not all messages in this component are displayed in the configured language. An example of this is when using showWeek="true" on this component; the header of the week number column always displays as "Wk" instead of a more appropriate abbreviation for the configured locale.

            This JIRA is to do a thorough review of the localization messages in ace:dateTimeEntry and fix those that aren't being displayed as expected, according to the configured locale.

              For ICEfaces 3.3, we had to add all the localization code for ace:dateTimeEntry, which wasn't present in that codebase.

              Only two other labels were found not to be translated, besides the week header. These labels are shown when setting showButtonPanel="true". This renders a button panel at the bottom with a button labeled "Today", which navigates to the current month, and when the component is rendered as a popup, it also displays a button labeled as "Done", which closes the popup.

              The localized labels used in the ace:dateTimeEntry component are obtained from Java, from the java.text.DateFormatSymbols class. This class can provide the localized labels for the different elements typically found in a calendar. However, it has no labels for the elements described above in this JIRA, which are labelled as 'weekHeader', 'currentText', and 'closeText' in jQuery UI. As a result, these labels weren't being localized.

              This was fixed by adding localized messages for these labels for a selected number of languages, in the renderer class of this component.
