Dear Bruno and Sam

I hesitate to interrupt your thread of conversation but there is an issue of 
importance that the calendar months and the number of days in a month are 
different in some parts of the world such as the Arab world.

There is a Lunar calendar (28 day in a month= 336 day a year) used in most 
Arab countries and a Solar calendar (365 day a year) used in Iran. This is 
not a simple issue of translating the month name to Arabic (or Farsi).  For 
example the Iranian year starts on 21st March. The Lunar calendar changes 
every year. for example Ramadan rarely occurs on the same days as the 
previous years.

Is there a way to address this?
