arabic datepicker not working

[Fattouh92]

setting locale to :ar and using the datepicker results in:

• showing assyrian calendar that is not used anymore in arabic language as mentioned in this PR Remove Assyrian months from arabic translations #2595
• date is not being set

what i tried so far:

• destroying datepicker object and reinitializing with datepicker locale to en also doesn't set date
• change rails locale to :en and datepicker works normally

Using italian locale.
Selected date is displayed properly formatted, but the input field's value is not actually set.

I'm hunting down the problem through a dummy app.
I managed to have the picker's value be set on the input.
Still, when editing a record, the value of the input is not shown until the picker is activated once.

The problem seems to stem from how you include your own locale in your app:

• I wasn't using rails-i18n gem and added locales manually on my own (app is 5 years old atm)
• Removing my locale files and adding the gem got me a good way forward
