Bidi support: Hijri calendar is not supported

[adir01]

In some Arabic countries, usage in Hijri calendar is common, and even required according to law.
Hijri and Hebrew calendars are Lunar calendars, and therefore dates in these calendars are different from Gregorian used in European countries.

Examples:

1. Date Picker
   Steps:
   Apply RTL style on Carbon
   Set calendar = Hijri

Gregorian calendar is actually shown:

Seems like we are blocked on the flatpickr side of things, as they do not support this calendar:

flatpickr/flatpickr#1526

#2585

@wajnberg : I understand that the code on flatpickr/flatpickr#1526 was developed by you and I also understand that this code was written for Hijri calendar support in Watson Assistant which was completed. Can you please clarify the status of this PR on flatpickr ?

Hello @adir01

As mentioned in flatpickr/flatpickr#1526 (comment) they want to refactor the Hijri code as a plugin but they suspect it would cause tremendous amount of work. I will try to follow up.
