Note also that some sites go out of their way to localize form controls to fit the language of the site. To the extent they will use libraries rather than <input> and friends. Arguably they're wrong, but there are cases where that does make sense. And let's not forget that users often forget to set these settings properly, that's probably part of the reason why sites do that kind of thing. -- https://annevankesteren.nl/
