It is mentioned here:

Where I explain what is standard localization system is missing.

I mentioned it one of the first sentences here:

http://cppcms.sourceforge.net/boost_locale/html/tutorial.html#working-with-dates-times-timezones-and-calendars

boos::date_time works only with Gregorian calendar while boost::locale
provides transparent support of many others like Hebrew, Islamic,
Japanese etc.
