In Bug 902572, we're trying to solve the problem that header if truncated with two months shown in a weekly view. However in Chinese syntax, year is put in front of month, so in the current implementation of week view spanning two months, it would be displayed as "10 月 ~ 2013 年 11 月" (October ~ 2013 November...) which looks strange to Chinese users. We should be able to put the year in the first part of header.

I'm flagging Adam who may know the best engineer on calendar to advise on the breaking up of headers idea, structurally/technically speaking.

Actually... James Lal is Calendar Guy. Reflagging.

Not a regression, so this is not a blocker.

Still affects 1.3 in zh-TW. Device: Geeksphone Keon Build: 20140205010019 Gaia: 3405205 Platform Version: 28.0

Peter, is this still valid for you? We now have a date format for headers, and we display "shortmonth year".

(In reply to Francesco Lodolo [:flod] from comment #8) > Peter, is this still valid for you? We now have a date format for headers, > and we display "shortmonth year". Yes it's still valid. Currently zh-TW/apps/calendar/calendar.properties:multi-month-view-header-format is %Y 年 %b ("2014 年 6 月 2014 年 7 月" / "2014 June 2014 July"), still looks weird but more reasonable. Is there a workaround on my side could make it displaying as "2014 June ~ July" and "2014 December ~ 2015 January"? (Note that there's no "short" month names in Chinese in this case)

No, there's nothing to make the header display like that :-\ The only alternative would be to have a specific format for overlapping weeks. Or just stop display 2 months in the header...

I'll prefer a specific format for overlapping weeks if we are going to fix this. Or probably postpone this bug into the UX design of next versions, if there's no FxOS device shipping zh-TW and no big problems in other locales? :)
