Description Usama 2010-10-29 23:03:08 UTC

Hi,

Calc is working as Gregorian to Hijri date converter. It assume that I'm inputting Gregorian and converts it to Hijri on local that depends on Hijri date (example: ar_SA)

The Problem:

if I enter,
1/1/1430 it will show like 6/04/833
1/1/2009 it will show 5/01/1430 (١٤٣٠/٠١/٥)

What should happen:
It should leave the date as entered.

Similar issue with Farsi date:

by the way, Congratulation on the freedom of Libreoffice. Best wishes.

This is often requested, however, the difficulty of implementing this correctly is very high.
