Calendars in other scripts
CalDesign prints a country's calendar in its own script: the month, the weekdays and every holiday's name. Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Hebrew, Greek and Cyrillic calendars come with fonts that draw them, and with the dates each country prints beside its own.
-
Japanese. The year in the imperial era too, 2027 令和9年. The week starts on Sunday. -
Chinese. The lunar date in every cell, the month's name on its first day. Traditional characters for Hong Kong and Taiwan. -
Korean. The lunar date in every cell, as Korean calendars print it. -
Hebrew. The whole page from right to left, the Hebrew date in every cell. -
Greek. Orthodox Easter, which in 2027 moves Labour Day to 4 May. -
Cyrillic. Serbia's calendar here; Bulgaria, Russia, Kazakhstan and others too.
What changes with the script
- Fonts. A calendar in Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Greek or Cyrillic gets Noto fonts that draw its letters. Any letter your chosen font lacks is drawn from them, and CalDesign tells you before export if a letter cannot be drawn at all.
- Line breaks. Long names in Chinese and Japanese, which have no spaces, break where those languages allow.
- Right to left. A Hebrew calendar mirrors its weeks, its cells, its title and its cover.
- Second dates. The Hebrew, Chinese or Korean lunar date in every cell, and the Hijri date in any calendar, chosen in the Text tab.
- Years. Japan's era and Taiwan's Minguo year next to the Gregorian year.
