I am clueless about this. As far as documentation goes, django should render a FloatField as input[type="text"], when field.localize = True

see https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/ref/forms/fields/#floatfield

But in my case it is still rendered as input[type=number] - did I miss something?

The main problem with that is, that I have localized number representation and with type=number I get issues with retrieving the value.

Anyone can give me a hint, why django refuses to use type="text" when field.localize=true?

Thank you very much
