Template code like the following:
{{ now|date:'E' }}
should return a month like "March" for English but "marzo" for Spanish (no
uppercase). I guess 'F' could continue to be uppercase. But 'E'
certainly should respect the locale preferences.
Wikipedia mentions this rule [1]. Apparently it's also on the Royal
Spanish Academy's site, but I'm not good enough at Spanish to navigate it.
Python's strftime('%B') uses lowercase in Spanish. So does python-babel
and similar projects. Even Django used to (and rejected a request to make
it uppercase in ticket:11173) before commit
6ca475d540361090e8b28154ce5391de718d5c63 in 2013 (which I suspect was a
mistake, but I didn't follow why those changes were made in the 1.5
branch).
I suspect the fix is to update the Spanish translation for all the "alt.
month" contexts to use lowercase.
