I'm working on form that must contain input with date type using Formik and Styled Components. And need its "placeholder" to be shown in english but its show me cyrylic instead.

I understand that my browser uses it's own preferences to decide how to show me that placeholder. But I need it to be in english by default for enyone regardles of browser language. Base language of page also en. Meaning

My current input looks like this in browser.

Current state of input field

I tried to change lang parameter of input to "en-GB" or "en-US" but it does not help.

Input field in code

Is there any way to achive that?

Edit: Styles of date field for more info

What is `ModalDateField`? – T.J. Crowder Feb 16 '23 at 12:02
*"Base language of page also en."* Would you show us the markup doing that? In case we can see an issue with it. – T.J. Crowder Feb 16 '23 at 12:10

From the links above, it's looking like this is hard or impossible to do. :-| Which is really surprising. – T.J. Crowder Feb 16 '23 at 12:16
ModalDateField is styled component styled(Field) where Field is from Formik – Olexandr Sorokin Feb 16 '23 at 12:32
The title asks about `input type="date"`, not Formik `Field`...? – T.J. Crowder Feb 16 '23 at 12:33
I changed styled(Field) to styled.input but with same result. As far as i know Formik Field when get property type='date' become just regular – Olexandr Sorokin Feb 16 '23 at 12:45
