Use packs available from here:
http://community.joomla.org/translation ... tions.html

Concerning the date displaying on your site, where does it come from? Is it template related? Is it a 3rd party extension?

To display Gregorian, one has to delete the class
class fa_IRDate extends JDate {

in fa-IR.localise.php both in site and admin lang folders

it seems to me that the pack i am using is registered there in that list..

the date comes due to below code within the template which is showing the date of a system itself, means whatever date i set my pc to it will show me that..

Code:
   <p class="day clearfix">
     <?php
      echo "<span class=\"day\">".JText::_(strtoupper(date ('D')))."</span>";
      echo "<span class=\"month\">".date ('m')."</span>";
      echo "<span class=\"date\">".date ('d')."</span>";
      echo "<span class=\"year\">".date ('Y')."</span>";
     ?>
   </p>


and yeah, removing that class helped me switch back to Gregorian, thanks..

what my real problem still is that how to show the dates, times or any number mentioned anywhere whether gregorian or farsi to be in their actual arabic numerals.. such as ۱ ۲ ۴ ۴ ۵... rather than 12345..?

I inspected the the farsi pack calendar js file has them mentioned somewhere in the bottom so I believe it would be possible what i want to include..

right now it really look awful showing the numerals in english while the rest of the site is in farsi..

can you help me with it please?

Dates can be customized by translating the Gregorian dates saved in the database, not numbers. This is the case for any language and any internet application. The "numerals" are not English specific, they are called "Western Arabic" numerals and used all over the world.
There is no way in a sql database to represent the "Eastern Arabic Numerals" you use in your language when writing or printing. If you write them, they will show, but not in lists or dates.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabic_numerals

For the date on your template, if you want a Jalali date, change the code to something like:
Code:
<p class="whatever">
<?php
$date = new JDate('now');
echo JHtml::_('date', $date, JText::_('DATE_FORMAT_LC2'));
?>
</p>


Choose the format depending on the strings that you can modify to fit
Quote:
DATE_FORMAT_LC="l, d F Y"
DATE_FORMAT_LC1="l, d F Y"
DATE_FORMAT_LC2="l, d F Y H:i"
DATE_FORMAT_LC3="d F Y"
DATE_FORMAT_LC4="Y-m-d"
DATE_FORMAT_JS1="y-m-d"

Do NOT hack core files.
The dates are specific to the language pack used.
What is your language?

This is extremely easy using the Language overrides in Language manager
