erpnext Supporting another calendar

Hi, I know the issue already asked many times ( #3473 #8851 ), I'm trying here to clarify what is the issue exactly and how it should be resolved.

Many countries use different calendar systems than Georgian, for us we use Hijri Calendar. As a non python developer I don't know how to implement my solution that I already implemented in many other projects I worked in.

To clarify, supporting Hijri Calendar Doesn't require changing anything in the database or the backend , how we implement it is :

Everything in the database is stored in Georgian Dates as usual.
We need to change the date picker to another one that supports Hijri Dates for example
We need to add a processor that convert any date we get from the Database - before sending it to the view - to it's equivalent Hijri date - here is a Hijri Date Converter for python.

To sum up : The date conversion happens after we get the input from the user ( Hijri to Georgian ) and before we display any date to the user ( Georgian to Hijri )

If I know python I would be happy to implement this feature myself, and it will not a lot of time to do. I wrote the idea here that we use in our PHP, ASP web apps so if someone can implement. I can help to explain any details if someone is interested.

Thanks

If some one can add this option it will be great and we can make many implementation in GCC. I can contribute as well by supporting developer with some funds

@AbdullahObaid A few other things need to change

Some queries that refer to this month (or this week) (for example: Profit rate from the beginning of the month until now)
Some JavaScript components that are related to date (date picker , calendar , timeline...)
