Public bug reported:

I changed the en_US default date to get the Month name : %B %d, %Y in
order to get February 13, 2011. I

First surprise: the month name seems to be taken from the locale of the
server - On ubuntu I realized this because my desktop was in French: so
I got février 2011 !

The same of course when you change the french date format you get the
month name in english

I already documented this in https://bugs.launchpad.net/openobject-
addons/+bug/718040

And they fixed the 'easy' part of it. It remains that the server locale
is used and we cannot print all date formats correctly. :

But anyway this need to be cleaned. Thanks!
