Description Roozbeh Pournader 2005-03-14 12:36:43 UTC 
Evolution should be able to support alternate calendars, most importantly
including the Islamic, Persian, and Hebrew ones. These are calendars which
are used in daily business in several countries in the world, including
many Arab countries, Afghanistan, Iran, Israel, and Pakistan.

For example, one's birthday in Iran is calculated using the Persian
calendar, instead of the Gregorian one, or a recurring event may happen
every Persian month, instead of every Gregorian one.

This is just a placeholder bug for requirement discussion, etc.

adding i18n keyword, removing typo.
Comment 2 Roozbeh Pournader 2005-04-19 16:17:14 UTC 
This may be useful some day. From IRC:
<rodrigo> in e-d-s we need a lot of changes for that to happen
<jpr> for display as well
<rodrigo> if we could use a simple datetime type that supported all calendars,
it would be great
Comment 3 André Klapper 2021-05-19 11:45:33 UTC 
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. 
As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled).

If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent
and supported software version, then please follow
  https://wiki.gnome.org/Community/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines
and create a new enhancement request ticket at
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/-/issues/

Thank you for your understanding and your help.
