amCharts - How can I use non-English calendar?

Question

Is there any way to use the Persian or Arabic calendar in Amcharts trendline?
Months names are not useful, because they conflict with other calendars.

Answer 1

I recommend you to make JavaScript file named fa.js with code below in Lang folder which is available in amChart directory.

AmCharts.translations.fa = {
"monthNames": ["دی", "بهمن", "اسفند", "فروردین", "اردیبهشت", "خرداد", "تیر", "مرداد", "شهریور", "مهر", "آبان", "آذز"],
"shortMonthNames":  ["دی", "بهمن", "اسفند", "فروردین", "اردیبهشت", "خرداد", "تیر", "مرداد", "شهریور", "مهر", "آبان", "آذز"],
"dayNames": ["یکشنبه", "دوشنبه", "سه شنبه", "چهارشنبه", "پنجشنبه", "جمعه", "شنبه"],
"shortDayNames": ["یکشنبه", "دوشنبه", "سه شنبه", "چهارشنبه", "پنجشنبه", "جمعه", "شنبه"],
"zoomOutText": "نمایش همه"}

Now you have to do couple things more:

Import fa.js to your project

<script type="text/javascript" src="/amcharts/lang/fa.js"></script>

Then define it in amchart object

 var chart = AmCharts.makeChart("chartdiv", {
    "type": "serial",
    "theme": "dark",
    "marginRight": 40,
    "marginLeft": 40,
    "language":"fa"
    .
    .
    .

Unfortunately, you have to regenerate the whole (Persian Sunny) Calendar with the amCharts methods to format or parse dates

You can find the information related to formatting dates on
