I'll give a look to the project you reported but this is actually a too much specific implementation to be included into the app's roadmap.

Just for curiosity: other company-made apps like Google Keep how manage this thing?

herotux commented 6 years ago

Companies are looking for profits and do not care for the community as a whole, so they do not pay attention to Persian speakers, which account for a small percentage of the world's population, which is why we only find this opportunity sometimes in free and open source programs.

I have a look to your resources but it's hard for me to include this specific development into the roadmap.

I'll add the Help wanted label to the issue to see if someone else (maybe a Persian developer) can put note focus on it.

There is a specific algorithm to convert Gregorian to Persian calendar so in this case you have to read phone calendar and convert based on that, keep in your mind, in some android phones Calendar.WEEK_OF_MONTH start from 0 and some of them from 1.
