Thanks Andreas, will try your example. I figured if we stayed away  from
capitalized months it would be less likely to mangle.

Sorry that I missed the fact that you wanted non-capitalized months.

Yes. I just made a quick test. It is "abr 19, 2025" here.

I was wondering, too. Thanks for testing it.

What locale did you use to get non-capitalized months? All the ones available to me use capital letters.

cer@Telcontar:~> espaniol locale
LANG=es_ES.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="es_ES.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="es_ES.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="es_ES.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="es_ES.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="es_ES.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="es_ES.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="es_ES.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="es_ES.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="es_ES.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="es_ES.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="es_ES.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="es_ES.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=es_ES.UTF-8

In Spanish, months are not capitalized.

For completeness, this also depends on the setting of "Disable Index Locale Dates".

I just tried Alpine with the above locale. I know Alpine itself is not translated: long ago I looked into it, but when I saw the strings in Alpine I saw that it was impossible, many strings are impossibly long (paragraphs). Mostly the help, it is internal to the code. So I had to remove my offer of translation. I was sad.
