Recently, a Blink intent to implement was published. It proposes that in HTML the form control UI should respect lang attribute values, instead of the browser UI locale. This feature will be applied to submit, reset, number, date, datetime-local, month, time, week input types, and so on. It would involve both: a. production of translated text for controls, such as 'Submit' on buttons b. automatic presentation of data formats, such as date, time, numbers, etc, per locale information relevant to the content of the page. The i18n WG is using a wiki page to capture and consolidate thinking on any issues associated with this. On the face of it seems like a good idea, however, there is a concern that there may be some security and usability issues. We would like to explore this and capture anything that needs to be addressed. An initial draft of the page can be found at: https://www.w3.org/International/wiki/Locale-based_forms ri
