Hi Khaled, you did hell of a job! It is really impressive, it is much more than just a single Arabic i18n library, i can understand how important these classes are to Arab users. I have some suggestions for you: 1. refactor the date conversion class to a new Pear package, it is a much needed package for future projects on Pear. why? you are aware that many countries in middle east use calendar systems other than Hijri, however some of their holidays are based on the religional events based on Hijri calendar, if you take a look at Pear Date Time category you won't find Holiday packages for countries like Turkey,UAE,Iran,... because most of their holidays are calculated based on Hijri while they use other calendars, if there was a package converting date to Hijri making such packages would be possible. 2. you may be also interested in supporting PHP IntlDateFormatter class which supports Hijri calendar. -- http://pear.php.net/pepr/pepr-proposal-show.php?id=617
