+## Calendars
+
+Although calendars aren’t the primary concern of `babel`, the package
+should be able to, at least, generate correctly `\today` in the way
+users would expect in its own culture. Currently, [`\localedate` can
+print dates in a few
+calendars](https://latex3.github.io/babel/news/whats-new-in-babel-3.45.html)
+(provided the `ini` locale file has been imported), but year, month and
+day had to be entered by hand, which is very inconvenient.
+
+Until now, `babel` provided just the Hebrew calendar with `hebcal.sty`,
+which shows how cumbersome can be the required computations with pure
+TeX. Now, thanks to the `l3fp` library, they are quite straighforward.
