#### 31.9.2 Converting To Other Calendars

The following commands describe the selected date (the date at point) in various other calendar systems:

`mouse-3 Other calendars`
`p o`

  Display the selected date in various other calendars. (`calendar-print-other-dates`).

`p c`

  Display ISO commercial calendar equivalent for selected day (`calendar-iso-print-date`).

`p j`

  Display Julian date for selected day (`calendar-julian-print-date`).

`p a`

  Display astronomical (Julian) day number for selected day (`calendar-astro-print-day-number`).

`p h`

  Display Hebrew date for selected day (`calendar-hebrew-print-date`).

`p i`

  Display Islamic date for selected day (`calendar-islamic-print-date`).

`p f`

  Display French Revolutionary date for selected day (`calendar-french-print-date`).

`p b`

  Display BahÃ¡’Ã date for selected day (`calendar-bahai-print-date`).

`p C`

  Display Chinese date for selected day (`calendar-chinese-print-date`).

`p k`

  Display Coptic date for selected day (`calendar-coptic-print-date`).

`p e`

  Display Ethiopic date for selected day (`calendar-ethiopic-print-date`).

`p p`

  Display Persian date for selected day (`calendar-persian-print-date`).

`p m`

  Display Mayan date for selected day (`calendar-mayan-print-date`).

Otherwise, move point to the date you want to convert, then type the appropriate command starting with `p` from the table above. The prefix `p` is a mnemonic for “print”, since Emacs “prints” the equivalent date in the echo area. `p o` displays the date in all forms known to Emacs. You can also use `mouse-3` and then choose `Other calendars` from the menu that appears. This displays the equivalent forms of the date in all the calendars Emacs understands, in the form of a menu. (Choosing an alternative from this menu doesn’t actually do anything—the menu is used only for display.)
