### Converting To Other Calendars

The following commands describe the selected date (the date at point) in various other calendar systems:

`Mouse-2 Other Calendars`
  Display the date that you click on, expressed in various other calendars.
`p c`
  Display ISO commercial calendar equivalent for selected day (`calendar-print-iso-date`).
`p j`
  Display Julian date for selected day (`calendar-print-julian-date`).
`p a`
  Display astronomical (Julian) day number for selected day (`calendar-print-astro-day-number`).
`p h`
  Display Hebrew date for selected day (`calendar-print-hebrew-date`).
`p i`
  Display Islamic date for selected day (`calendar-print-islamic-date`).
`p f`
  Display French Revolutionary date for selected day (`calendar-print-french-date`).
`p C`
  Display Chinese date for selected day (`calendar-print-chinese-date`).
`p k`
  Display Coptic date for selected day (`calendar-print-coptic-date`).
`p e`
  Display Ethiopic date for selected day (`calendar-print-ethiopic-date`).
`p p`
  Display Persian date for selected day (`calendar-print-persian-date`).
`p m`
  Display Mayan date for selected day (`calendar-print-mayan-date`).

If you are using X, the easiest way to translate a date into other calendars is to click on it with `Mouse-2`, then choose `Other Calendars` from the menu that appears. This displays the equivalent forms of the date in all the calendars Emacs understands, in the form of a menu. (Choosing an alternative from this menu doesn't actually do anything--the menu is used only for display.)

Put point on the desired date of the Gregorian calendar, then type the appropriate keys. The `p` is a mnemonic for "print" since Emacs "prints" the equivalent date in the echo area.
