Sadly, this is a library issue, a bit hard to workaround:
the underlying glibc and python libraries that format these strings do NOT 
take a language argument, but instead rely on the per-process environment 
setting of LC_TIME or LANGUAGE.

This means that we might change the global setting of date format for all the 
OpenERP server, but cannot  specify per-report or per-client locale for dates. 
So changing it there cannot be enough :(

Title:
  Wrong representation of dates with month's name

Status in OpenERP Modules (addons):
  New

Bug description:
  I have changed the date format in English en_US language to %d-%b-%Y.
  We have to do this as our tax department requires to show month name in date format to avoid misunderstanding.

  But in this case PDF reports in English en_US like order, Invoice and
  etc shows date like 12-ôåâ-2011 instead of 12-Feb-2011.
