I have alwaays usede Geni in English - does Genie Hebrew support the Hebrew date??

Not yet, Ralph.
But they DO plan to support at least three additional calendars as their next step in supporting internationalization / localization. With the little that I know of their time-table, this could be anything between 6-12 months.

I would be happy to send you my 6000 line lookup table, and my REXX routines HEBDATE (cvt goyish to Jewish) and GOYDATE (cvt the other way). But you probably have your own routines...

I look forward to birthdays and yahrzeits in Geni!!

BTW, I have played with Geni in Hebrew and IIRC things came out backwards (particularly in tree view). Is this a known problem, or is it just me? (disclaimer: linux+firefox)

Shimon,
two things:
1) I don't actually have any routines of my own. When I need to I use JewishGen's awesome JOS Calendar Conversion:
http://www.jewishgen.org/jos/josdates.htm

2) I think your comment assumes that we Curators actually work at / FOR Geni. We don't. All 80+ of us are volunteers. See: http://wiki.geni.com/index.php/Curators

I have never had any issues with seeing the Hebrew tree backwards. Check out the tree of my very favorite profile, Adam of Eden. There IS a known issue with PRINTING a Hebrew (or Arabic) tree. This can be resolved by changing your tree Preferences (at the bottom of the tree view), under Names, you should see on the bottom-right: "Reverse RTL names". Check that option.

תרגום קצר:
שמעון הציע לשלוח לי חלקי תוכנה שמתרגמים תאריכים עברי<==>לועזי. הוא גם ציין שיש לו בעיות עם תצוגת העץ בעברית.

עניתי לו:
1) אין לי צורך בכאלה. כאשר אני זקוק לתרגום, אני משתמש בכלי הנפלא הבא:
http://www.jewishgen.org/jos/josdates.htm

2) מצורת ההתנסחות שלו, חשבתי שהוא מניח שאני העוצרים עובדים בג'ני. היה חשוב לי לציין שכל 80+ חברי צוות האוצרים הם *מתנדבים* מרצונם הטוב.

3) מעולם לא היה לי בעיה להציג עץ בעברית. מה שכן, *יש בעיה* ידועה, בהדפסה של עץ כזה. גם לבעיה זו יש פתרון פשוט. בהגדרות העץ (בתחתית התצוגה) תחת
Preferences ==> Names
יש אופציה
Reverse RTL names
סמנו אותה.

Thanks for your replies - I used a Hebrew software but changed to Genie for the worldwide family - but really missed the תאריך עברי
