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
got it working with code $Date.FormatDate(%d %b %Y)
But still needed the code do make ArchiveWidget to show the title in right language
