191508 - Calendar month names in top left aren't localized

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Calendar :: Sunbird Only, defect)

Description

[Robert Kaiser]

The top left part of the window (upper part of sidebar) has an additional
calendar view that is not localizable. This includes the tab labels
"Calendar"/"Calendars" as well as the Month names and the "Go to today" button.

The top left XUL files are all changed.
The month names come from the calendar.xml file which still needs to be localized.
Changing summary.
The change needs to be made in content/datepicker/calendar.xml

I haven't much idea of Javascript. But, maybe the issue of the hardcoded month
names array will be solved if you will give indices as value to the array. In
any case it isn't allowed to type English month names into the calendar.xml.

I think I found the solution. 

Replace in /content/datepicker/calendar.xml the line 
var monthNames = ["January", "February", "..."];
by the lines

<-- begin of the text
this.dateStringBundle =
srGetStrBundle("chrome://calendar/locale/dateFormat.properties");
         var monthNames=new Array(12);
monthNames[0]=this.dateStringBundle.GetStringFromName("month.1.name" );
monthNames[1]=this.dateStringBundle.GetStringFromName("month.2.name" );
monthNames[2]=this.dateStringBundle.GetStringFromName("month.3.name" );
monthNames[3]=this.dateStringBundle.GetStringFromName("month.4.name" );
monthNames[4]=this.dateStringBundle.GetStringFromName("month.5.name" );
monthNames[5]=this.dateStringBundle.GetStringFromName("month.6.name" );
monthNames[6]=this.dateStringBundle.GetStringFromName("month.7.name" );
monthNames[7]=this.dateStringBundle.GetStringFromName("month.8.name" );
monthNames[8]=this.dateStringBundle.GetStringFromName("month.9.name" );
monthNames[9]=this.dateStringBundle.GetStringFromName("month.10.name" );
monthNames[10]=this.dateStringBundle.GetStringFromName("month.11.name" );
monthNames[11]=this.dateStringBundle.GetStringFromName("month.12.name" );

end of the text --> 

I found those lines in printDialog.js. The advantage is that any translation
isn't necessary because the keys (e.g. month.0.name, nonth.1.name)have been
already defined in the file dateFormat.properties and thus translated.
