Do you already have Farsi added as an alternate language on your phone? Look on your friend's screen shot. If Persian is not there, add it via the "Add Language" link. That should automatically add the Persian calendar and keyboard to your device's memory, from which you can choose to use them. As with your friend, there is no need to change your phone language to Farsi or to promote it to the top of the Preferred Language Order list.


Good luck.

I tried changing my region to Iran to see if the Persian calendar would appear in the list, but it did not.


Since my Farsi skill is less than zero, I leave it to you to try this experiment: Change your iPad language from English to Farsi. If the Persian calendar becomes available, choose it. When you switch your iPad language back to English, the Persian calendar should remain.


Here's another dumb question for you, but I need to ask it: Does your friend remember how he got the Persian calendar onto his iPhone?
