Description
When loading additional languages using djConfig.extraLocale, the DateTextBox? does not switch languages when it's "lang" attribute is set.
The below example illustrates the problem.

The 'lang' attribute is non-mutable... that should probably be documented. There isn't any support for changing this dynamically on any widget AFAIK or triggering a re-draw of the Calendar UI, in general. However, you can destroy and reinstantiate the widget with the new lang.

Confirmed that we documented this -- lang [const]

How will the docs get updated off the back of this please?
Also, could you provide an example of how to destroy/recreate with all the same attributes (apart from lang!) in place?

not sure about the first question. the second could be:
var englishDefaults = {
lang: "en", id:"bar", something:"else"
}
var x = new dijit.form.DateTextBox(englishDefaults);
x.destroy();
var germanDefaults = dojo.mixin({}, englishDefaults, { lang:"de" });
var gx = new dijit.form.DateTextBox(germanDefaults);

So it's non-obvious and I'm not sure our doc tools render tags in our doc like [const] but it is in the source. From 1.4.1:
74 // lang: [const] String 75 // Rarely used. Overrides the default Dojo locale used to render this widget, 76 // as defined by the [HTML LANG](http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/dirlang.html#adef-lang) attribute. 77 // Value must be among the list of locales specified during by the Dojo bootstrap, 78 // formatted according to [RFC 3066](http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3066.txt) (like en-us). 79 lang: "",

Sorry, you'll need to lose the "var x =" line - I meant to strip that out.
