Added Nepali Translation

[ankitpokhrel]

Hi!

I've added Nepali translation to the Date picker.

Is there any way to change the number from default to local numbers? or am i missing anything?

There isn't any way to change the locale's numbers. This is definitely something I've been considering for a while. Will probably add an option for it in the next release.

Pardon my ignorance..but after a little bit of Googling, it seems these Nepali dates are based on the Lunar Calendar - and not the Gregorian calendar - which won’t really work.

All the other translations and date formats follow Microsoft’s style guide. Their Nepali style guide also follows the Gregorian calendar. Considering Microsoft has done this, I would assume it’s an acceptable standard locally in Nepal. And so that’s what I’ll be implementing here as well.

Cheers.

Yes! you are right other translations and date formats follow Microsoft’s style guide. But it is not an acceptable standard locally and it is the main problem we (the developers) face while creating local apps.

If its not possible to implement lunar calendar, it would be better to provide some utility methods to convert English date to Nepali date (and viceversa) and calculate the date difference. This will make this plugin more usable than other available plugins.

Thanks.

Hmm.. that would be quite a complex feat. This is what I have at the moment as the translation.

It’s probably out of scope – but I’ll consider utility methods after a little research maybe for a future release.
