Hi Omid,
Happy to hear that you're still working on Persian issues in M$ products.
I also think "Persian Calendar" would be ok, but as you said, this may later cause some confusions between the calendar used in Iran and the Afghan version. So, maybe "Iranian Calendar" is the proper choice. But I still think there should be better choices...
Anyway, they should really avoid using terms such as Hejri Shamsi (an Arabic name for a Persian Calendar?!!) and even the right local form of it, Khorshidi, which are not easy to pronounce and make no sense in English.

>I had made a feedback to Microsoft some weeks ago to revise the name of the Jalaali Calendar in their products, as we had discussed it in this forum before. Please read the problem statement and Microsoft's response here:

>We’ve triggered MS to investigate again for a proper name for our calendar, so your input is very important at the present. Whatever name they choose now it will remain forever. The time is short; Please comment, and DON’T draw a dispute in Microsoft’s pages.
