Google Translate breaks datepicker

Description

Using Google translate on a page breaks the datepicker which fills the fields with a value of "NaN/NaN/NaN".

A workaround is to add a notranslate class to the datepicker which prevents Google Translate from breaking it. However I guess that a better solution would be to allow it to translate but not break :)

See http://jsfiddle.net/eirc/tkRaQ/

I also don't know if any other widgets are affected by this.

Google Translate doesn't follow any standards. I don't think we should be adding 3rd party classes to our widgets. If Google Translate ever supports a standard like @translate, then we can consider this. Out of curiosity, do you know what is getting translated that is killing the datepicker?

The reason why the datepicker doesn't work is that Google Translate wraps all text in <font /> tags, including the day numbers of the calender.

These contents of a cell in the calendar table:

<a class="ui-state-default" href="#">14</a>

will be converted by Google Translate to:

<a class="ui-state-default" href="#">
    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;">
        <font style="vertical-align: inherit;">14</font>
    </font>
</a>

The result is that this line in the jQuery UI code will fail to find the number of the day clicked:

inst.selectedDay = inst.currentDay = $( "a", td ).html();

A possible workaround is to add the notranslate class to the datepicker div immediatly after creating the datepicker:

$("#id_of_date_field").datepicker();
$("#ui-datepicker-div").addClass("notranslate");
