*2.2. Analysis of Local Knowledge*

*Pranata Mangsa* is written in the Javanese language of *Aksara Kromo*. Unfortunately, *Pranata Mangsa* has not been officially translated into other languages, and its applications remain limited. We translated *Pranata Mangsa* into Bahasa Indonesia, which has been recognized as an official language of Indonesia ever since the country gained independence, on 17 August 1945. We also translated it into English, as one of the official United Nations (UN) languages for international communication.
