templates.displayNames[i], which is set in TemplateList.cc, from the
template_map attribute.

You should probably follow the example of METHOD and SORT, which use the
method_names and sort_names attributes.  The defaults for these and all
other attributes are set in htcommon/defaults.cc.  You should add, at the
very least, a month_names attribute, which can be customised for other
languages, and the buitin default will be English.  It can be different
from the method_names and sort_names, in that you don't need name-value
pairs.  You just need a list of 12 month names in the right order,
and the value is the position in the list (+1 as the list is 0-origin).

The days list can be generated on the fly (1-31) if you want a <select>
list for that, and the years too, though you may want to make that
configurable somehow, so the allowable range of years can be changed.
