Since they are content, they appear in the wiki content language.
If you want to have it shown in the users language, open
includes/parser/parser.php and at function getVariableValue change
$wgContLang to $wgLang (remember to do a global $wgContLang).
But you will need to disable caching there to avoid an "English" user
viewing the French months after a "French" user visited the page.
