Display an Alternate Calendar

Overview

This feature of Display an alternate calendar applies to any language that enables an alternate calendar : Arabic, English, Hebrew, Hindi, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Thai. The short and long date formats, for example, 11/01/07 or November 1, 2007, follow the date formats selected in the operating system's settings. The language of the month and weekday names depends on the country/region selected in the Regional and Language Options (Classic view in both Windows Vista and Microsoft Windows XP) or Regional Options (Microsoft Windows 2000) dialog box in Control Panel and on the calendar selected in the operating system. As a result, one can see alternate language or English Gregorian calendar month names or translated month names.
