I want to use a calendar web control that will display a non-gregorian
calendar. When setting the CultureInfo.DateTimeFormat.Calendar = new
Calendar() it works but the language is the Culture's language, and I want it
to be displayed in English. E.g. When trying to display a Hebrew Calendar I
will use the following code in Page_Load:
CultureInfo ilCulture = new CultureInfo("he-IL");
ilCulture.DateTimeFormat.Calendar = new HebrewCalendar();
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = ilCulture;
This will dispaly a HebrewCalendar but the HebrewCalendar will be displayed
in Hebrew, and I want it to be displayed in English. Is it possible? How?

It is not possible.

Not every calendar i translate into English; some of the native calendar are
only in the native language (in fact currently the Gregorian one is the only
one translated)....
