    Well $Now.Month returns the month name. It will return whatever locale you have set at the PHP level (setlocale()) I don't believe SS will set this automatically for you.

    i use in mysite/_config.pgp lines:
    i18n::set_locale('et_EE');
    setlocale(LC_TIME, i18n::get_locale() . '.utf8');

    But in blog module the months are still in english.
    Blog module uses in posts:
    $Date.Long
    And in widget it also in english
