current date problem after change locale

[devAlikhani]

Hi
I have a question about locale format of date, I want to convert this calendar to Persian calendar( I mean Solar Hijri calendar) then I use localIdentifier in viewDidLoad Function like this:

    calendar.locale = NSLocale(localeIdentifier: "fa_IR")

calendar is translated to Persian very good, but current date is not converted to Persian date, stay at Gregorian date,
how can i translate or update current date to Persian?

Hi @devAlikhani
Can you show me what Persian calendar looks like? October 2015 .e.g.

Sorry for my poor knowledge about calendars, but what is today in Persian calendar? I got it printed into console, it gives me 1394-8-19

[devAlikhani]

oh no you are fantastic, this date is correct, today is 1394/8/19 in Persian calendar

[WenchaoD]

OK. I'll figure out a way to fix this.

[devAlikhani]

as a Persian Developer, I really thank you

[WenchaoD]

Fixed.

_calendar.identifier = NSCalendarIdentifierPersian;

@devAlikhani I use this code line but my calendar is started from 1970,do you know why?

I had this problem and I solved in this way:
fsCalendar.locale = NSLocale(localeIdentifier: "fa_IR") as Locale
fsCalendar.select(Date())
fsCalendar.identifier = NSCalendar.Identifier.persian.rawValue
