As to your question. You may need to look in the after market for a
function that will convert between Arabic and Julian dates. Your system can
only run on one calendar at a time. Trying to swap your system calendar
between the two can result in all kinds of problems when it comes to keeping
things straight.

Because the two calendars have different bases (lunar and solar) the
conversion, while doable is not quick and simple. If you can't find existing
software on the market, you might try a source like Knuth's Algorithms for
documentation on what is involved in that conversion.
