Hi, The plan is to include ICU support in Qt 5.1, which I am currently working on, and this will implicitly include ICU's support for alternative calendar systems. It is intended that it will be completely seamless within the existing QLocale and QDateTime classes and hence the existing widgets, i.e. if the default system calendar is Jalali then all the widgets will pick up Jalali with no modifications required. Extra api will be added to allow specifically setting the Calendar System on a widget as well. At the moment there's not a lot more detail than what's on the wiki, and an initial code branch on Gitorious, but I'll have more solid details by the end of January as feature-freeze for 5.1 will be in February. Cheers! John. _______________________________________________ Interest mailing list Interest@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/interest
