Calender app: Announce name of day in month overview

[JessicaTegner]

Hi there.

I was hoping it could be implemented, so NVDA would announce the day of week when going through the month overview in the calender.

As an example: Right now NVDA says:

• 2. Maj 2021, no events.
• 3. Maj 2021, 1 events.

And I was hoping it could say something like.

• Sunday, 2. Maj 2021, no events.
• Monday, 3. Maj 2021, 1 events.

ps: I don't know if the english examples above is what it says, word for word, but I hope you get the idea.

If this is already possible, please do tell me. I've searched high and low, but don't think this is possible.

Take care

Hi there, NVDA does announce the day I’m on (say, Sunday, May 2, 2021) I month view. Can you tell me steps to reproduce the problem so I can look into it for a possible release? Thanks.

Hi there...

Steps to reproduce

1. Open calender.
2. Make sure the title of the current window is: "Month view - calendar"
3. You should have focus on the current day, if you go 1 right with the arrows, it says: "2. Maj 2021 - No events"
4. if you go 1 left again (so you go back to the current day) it says "Today, 1. Maj, 2021. 1 Event"

Due note that step 3 and 4 are just to illustrate how to get nvda to speak the dates.

What it should do

Step 1 and 2 as above:

3. When arrowing 1 right, it should say: Sunday, 2. Maj 2021, No events.
4. And arrow 1 left (so on current day): Saturday 1. Maj, 2021, 1 Event.

Hi, I see. Can you try with Narrator and see if it announces the day? On my system, NVDA does say, “Saturday, May 1, 2021” and “Sunday, May 2, 2021”. Thanks.

[JessicaTegner]

hi

Narrator does not say the day either...

[josephsl]

Hi, in this case, there’s really nothing NVDA can do, as it is up to Microsoft’s Mail and Calendar team to look into this. Sorry.

[JessicaTegner]

Do you have any idea, why it works on your system, but not mine? Does Narrator say the name of the day on your system?

[josephsl]

Hi, yes, Narrator does announce the day on my system, and I’m using an English user interface. I think this is really up to Microsoft to fix this (might be a localization problem or something). Thanks.

[JessicaTegner]

I'm going to try switching my system to english, to try to figure out, if that's the problem or not.

[JessicaTegner]

Ok.I can confirm that this is a localisation error on Microsofts part. When I have my stems language set to English, it announces the date ( Sunday, 2. Maj 2021) regardless of my NVDA language or preferences.

Hi, in this case, I think it would be best to close this issue and send a feedback (via Feedback Hub app) to Microsoft. Thanks,
