Our translation coordinator just flagged a regression for Spanish month 
names, which were previously lower-case (see 
https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/7461) through 1.4.x:

https://github.com/django/django/blob/stable/1.4.x/django/conf/locale/es/LC_MESSAGES/django.po#L1080

and were converted to upper-case in 1.5:

https://github.com/django/django/blob/stable/1.5.x/django/conf/locale/es/LC_MESSAGES/django.po#L1080

as part of a large commit which didn't appear to be linked to a ticket:

https://github.com/django/django/commit/6ca475d540361090e8b28154ce5391de718d5c63

The question I had was whether it was intentional to convert both the 
default and "alt. month" contexts. In similar languages, we're using the 
alternate month when the date occurs in the middle of a phrase (e.g. "F j, 
Y" is translated to "j \d\e E, Y" but "F Y" is unmodified) so the month 
name is correctly capitalized at the start of a sentence but not when it's 
in the middle. Without the alternate versions, there appears to be no way 
to correctly format long dates without writing code or overriding the 
translated month names.

Thanks,
Chris
