   Hi Guys
   I am working on l10n of WP for Hindi. I am running across an issue on the rendering of Calendar on the blog's index page. I guess the present logic is to pick the first letter of Days like S for Sunday. IMHO this would fail for languages like Hindi which are based on double byte characters. I guess if we can have something like Sun, Mon, Tues, or even for that matter S, M, T, W in the .pot file these can be transtlated to corresponding names in the target language.
   Thanks and keep up the good work. I will upload hi.po once it is finished.

   I dunno how I started writing and speaking like this. Must have picked up from BayArea(http://www.bayarea.com) since there are so much native Hindi speakers around :D
   BTW no one replied back to my original post.

   It would be great if someone can make get_calendar function in template-functions-general.php i18n. Then I can work my l10n magic on it. Think think this is the relavant code
   
echo '<table id="wp-calendar">
<caption>' . $month[zeroise($thismonth, 2)] . ' ' . date('Y', $unixmonth) . '</caption>
<thead>
<tr>';
foreach ($weekday as $wd) {
echo "\n\t\t<th abbr=\"$wd\" scope=\"col\" title=\"$wd\">" . substr($wd, 0, $daylength) . '</th>';
}
echo '
</tr>
</thead>
<tfoot>
<tr>';

   It would be great if this could be done before 1.2 beta is out. Which I think might be any time now :D

   pankaj, maybe you can try posting this in the new i18n l10n thread that rboren created to get the devs' attention.
   I think it's a valiant effort, but some of the compound letters appear broken in my browser. Must be a browser problem though, I guess.

   Pankaj, that code takes the first letter from the day names. What would be the l10n equivilent?
