This feature was discussed here before, and an interpretation was issued for issue 8: http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=258 The functionality already works in FreeBSD, for example: $ LC_TIME=el_GR.UTF-8 date +"%d %B %Y" 13 Φεβρουαρίου 2015 $ LC_TIME=el_GR.UTF-8 date +"%OB %Y" Φεβρουάριος 2015 It was implemented for Greek in 2001: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=32120 -- Jilles Tjoelker
