Jacques Le Roux commented on OFBIZ-1825:
----------------------------------------

Hi Marco,

It's just to know if you got a chance to work on this issue because I expected to put calendar i18n in release 9.3 which should come soon. 
Don't feel any pressure, if you think you will do it later just let us know so that we will not wait for it in 9.3

Thanks

> I tried to change the calendar colors, to be more "in the OFBiz way". Please let me you know what you think.
> I also changed some colors to respect our CSS best practices (no color names).
> Here are some remarks :
> Colors
> *  I kept the 3 chars scheme when it's was obvious. For instance we don't need to set #000000 or #ffffff when actually #000 or #fff is sufficient. 
> * I used Wikipedia as reference http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_colors for choising colors. While doing this change I wondered if we could not authorise and even recommend to use sandard names for colors as shown in Wikipedia page. I found it easier to recall a color by its names than by an hexa number...! As long as we would use this Wikipedia reference I think it could be possible to use names instead of hexa, WDYT ?
> * The days initials are not centered but at left (It's late and I did not found the reason)
> We need to provide a localisation mean. From http://electronicholas.com/calendar?style=default&format=natural it should not be too hard. I propose a simple way, maybe we can do better
> * More calendar formats in a calendar.properties file (like the euro or american ones)
> * For the moment I think all string are harcoded in calendar_date_select.js
>     Date.weekdays = $w("S M T W T F S");
>     Date.first_day_of_week = 0;
>     Date.months = $w("January February March April May June July August September October November December" );
>     _translations = {
>       "OK": "OK",
>       "Now": "Now",
>       "Today": "Today"
>     }
> A very simple way (but not very clever I must admit) could be to set a property for the language to use in calendar.properties file and use it in a switch statement with "hardcoded" strings in  calendar_date_select.js. Is anybody aware of better ways to do that in Javascript or Prototype ?
> BTW I think we should delete calendarstyles.css and calendarTable.css. If it's ok, I will do it when I will upate the attached patch later.
