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.
