How does one get the Sedra name in Hebrew?

All the ways I try to generate it render it in English.

It looks like Sedra.getString() doesn't implement translations as the documentation says. I'll need to clarify.

Here are two options for now:

1. If you're using the simple interface, specify locale as part of options:

import {HebrewCalendar} from '@hebcal/core';
const options = {
  locale: 'he',
  sedrot: true,
  noHolidays: true,
};
const events = HebrewCalendar.calendar(options);
for (const ev of events) {
  const hd = ev.getDate();
  const date = hd.greg();
  console.log(date.toLocaleDateString(), ev.render());
}

2. If you want to use the lower-level Sedra API, you can do this:

import {Locale, Sedra, ParshaEvent} from '@hebcal/core';
// specify default locale so you don't need to pass a locale argument to render()
Locale.useLocale('he'); 
const sedra = new Sedra(5780, true);
const hd = new HDate(new Date(2020, 6, 7));
const parsha = sedra.get(hd);
const ev = new ParshaEvent(hd, parsha);
console.log(ev.render());

OK, we've published @hebcal/core@2.0.2 which adds locale-awareness to Sedra.getString() without having to use the ParshaEvent workaround.

const {Locale, Sedra, HDate} = require('@hebcal/core');
Locale.useLocale('he'); 
const sedra = new Sedra(5781, false);
console.log(sedra.getString(new HDate(new Date(2021, 3, 24))));
