An addon for Plone adding a new Date and Datetime pickers based on react-aria-components.
In Plone 6 the date and datetime fields are rendered using browser native widgets.
This, although modern and useful, may create unexpected results for users of browsers untranslated to user languages, or users editing content in multilingual site.
Check this mockup issue for the exact use case we had in a project.
With this add-on, the date and datetime fields will use a JavaScript based picker localized to the language the content is crated on (according to Plone, no wild guessing of languages :))
