qatarperegrineI wanted to send a coworker a link to my calendar, but first wanted to check that it would only tell her when I'm busy/free, not show her my appointment schedule. So I just opened a browser I don't often use, to make sure I wasn't logged in, and then accessed my calendar. It looked like this:
Google defaults to Arabic here in Qatar, but I didn't realize that means my calendar would be in Arabic. Instead of "Busy," my entries all say "مشغول". I also didn't expect that Arabic Google calendars would go right to left: if you look at the dates at the top it goes the 10th, the 9th, the 8th, the 7th, etc., and my appointments are all written like 10:30-9:30!
