Hi there, @WillMag01. I have looked into this matter. As I understand it, this is simply because St David's Day is not classified as a public holiday at present, and is classified as a religious event.
Calendar data are pre-programmed by our developers with recognised public holidays within a particular region. This would also happen in the event that St David's Day, whilst a very significant and celebrated day, is classified as a public holiday at a later juncture. The categorisation may change in the future.
In the meantime, you may wish to manually add this date/event to your Samsung Calendar.
I hope this helps. 👍
You're welcome, @WillMag01. I appreciate where you are coming from. This is largely down to classification. St Patrick's Day, for instance, is a public holiday in the Republic of Ireland. Admittedly, St George's Day is not a public holiday.
From looking into this further, the key distinction with St David's Day at present is that it is classified as a religious event. I absolutely appreciate that you would like to see this very important event appearing on your Samsung Calendar.
If you wish, I can forward your suggestion to our Research and Development Team.
Certainly, @WillMag01. I've noted your suggestion and, once I hear back from the Research and Development Team, I will update the thread accordingly. 👍
Hello again, @WillMag01. I hope that you are keeping well. I just wanted to update you, as I have now heard back from the Research and Development Team.
The team has emphasised that it does not provide local events because it does not have a database: the data syncs with Google's public holiday data. If you add a Google account to your Samsung Calendar, you can bring a local event from your Google Calendar and it will show it to you.
Therefore, I think it would be best to forward your suggestion to Google's own developers. I imagine that the more people who request the inclusion of St David's Day on Google's Calendar, the more likely/readily it will be incorporated.
I hope this helps.
