Get the mathematica code for Calendrica. http://emr.cs.iit.edu/home/reingold/calendar-book/Calendrica.html There is a function in this package ConvertDateTo::usage = "ConvertDateTo[date, calendar] converts the given calendar date to the specified calendar." ConvertDateTo[date, "Chinese"]? Make sure the dates are in Mathematica format {YYYY, MM, DD} I would make certain that all date fields coming in are transsformed to Mathematica date format. Use Needs[] or << to load the Calendrica package. As for the rest Importing and Exporting are in the help file.
