I've just tried to use "zc.datetimewidget" package in my Zope3
development installation.
Installation is fine, as well as widget, but I can't get dates displayed
or entered in a french way (DD/MM/YYYY).
I've tried to modify browser settings as well as a few parameters, but
nothing is doing it correctly (and when date is displayed correctly in a
form, Zope 'normally' says that dates are not correctly formatted while
submitting !).

Thanks for any help...

P.S. : I also tried to install and configure "z3c.language" package.
Could there be any "inter-dependance" between these two packages ?
