Sorry if this is a bit off topic, but I'm badly monolingual, and need some=
=20
help with translation of the KDE calendar support for Hebrew=20
(kdelibs/kdecore/kcalendarsystemhebrew.cpp)

Specifically, I'm trying to address some issues associated with short names=
 of=20
"months" in the Hebrew calendar. I think I have this fixed correctly for=20
Gregorian, Jalali and Hijri, but the Hebrew fix requires knowledge of the=20
abbreviations that I don't have. Note that I'm not trying to translate them=
,=20
just make sure that the English representations are right.

So, in Gregorian, the current month is "January", and the possessive form i=
s=20
"of January".  KDE also provides a short name ("Jan") and possessive short=
=20
name ("of Jan") function. So can someone who understands this calendar plea=
se=20
tell the appropriate short names for each of these (or confirm that they ar=
e=20
never abbreviated):
Tishrey
Heshvan
Kislev
Tevet
Shvat
Adar
Nisan
Iyar
Sivan
Tamuz
Av
Elul
Adar I
Adar II

The possessive form is worse. Here is the code:
// ### Fixme
QString KCalendarSystemHebrew::monthNamePossessive(int month, int year,
                                                  bool shortName) const
{
  return "of " + monthName(month, year, shortName);
}

I'll fix that (returning something that might be translatable), if someone =
can=20
confirm that the correct possessive form (in English) is "of {name}", or=20
explain the right rules.

Please note that if you want to see a simple example/test, go to=20
kdelibs/kdecore/tests/, and "make kcalendartest". This can then be used to=
=20
exercise the various calendars, including Hebrew.

Thanks for your time.

Brad
