How to make <input type="date"> display the date in localized format in Chrome?

Issue

I'm using the HTML5 <input type="date">, which in Chrome renders a rich input control displaying the date in the format MM/DD/YYYY. The problem is that my application expects input in a localized format server-side, which means MM.DD.YYYY.

Is there any way I can change the way Chrome renders and takes input from date controls?

Solution

1. Chrome renders the date on the format for the language configured in Settings > Language:

   

2. Chrome (and other browsers) always post dates in RFC 3339-format according to the HTML5 standard. Make sure the server accepts date on that format only.
