Software i18n is still hard to do, even in 2018.
Not completely related to the post, but sometime ago I had to build a calendar widget, in javascript, capable of displaying ISO and Hijri dates simultaneously.

Algorithmic implementations available started to drift in odd ways after a certain number of days.
