Hi
what do you think I should translate year and hour short forms to Farsi. they 
both begin with s? I think they can't be the same because they should be put 
beside each other as an input for defining day and time format. dic told me " 
ss(sal)"  for "yy" and "ss(saat)" for "hh", these are not  short forms at 
all! it is better just put the the word itself alone , not  with short form 
and the whole word and two parentheses!!! What is the usage of a short form 
anyway. my suggestions:
yy  س‌ش            s sh
yyyy س‌ش‌س‌ش        s sh s sh
and:
hh         س‌س   s s
h    س     s

"s sh" is the short form  for sale shamsi.

another thing: should I translate them to Farsi. and if i translate them to 
Farsi does Kmail recognize them or not, as far as these short forms will be 
used by Kmail as an input to define date and time format?
