13591	SplitDateTimeField admin usability broken when using format localization	Ludwik Trammer	nobody	"'''The issue:'''

When using SplitDateTimeField (and probably other types of date fields) in admin with calendar widget and with format localization turned on, date format goes back and forth between localized and unlocalized version, utterly confusing the user.

'''Steps to reproduce:'''

Set '''USE_L10N''' to '''True''' and '''LANGUAGE_CODE''' to '''de''' (German). Go to admin interface and try editing an object from a model with SplitDateTimeField. At first the date will be formated as ""YYYY-MM-DD"" (ie. unlocalized), but after clicking ""Today"", or anything else in calendar, the format will switch to localized ""DD.MM.YYYY"". The sudden format switch is really confusing. After saving, it switches again to ""YYYY-MM-DD"".

'''Proposed resolution:'''

When '''USE_L10N''' is turned on, the value should always be localized. "		closed	Forms	1.2		worksforme	localization, SplitDateTimeField, admin	Jannis Leidel andy@… rodrigo@…	Accepted	0	0	0	0	0	0
