The Rails 2.2 release supports localization of dates entirely.

You can find the default formats in this file:
http://github.com/rails/rails/tree/2-2-stable/activesupport/lib/active_support/locale/en.yml

It is trivial to add your own formats, eg. in `RAILS_ROOT/config/
locales/de.rb`:

        :time => {
          :formats => {
            :short_with_named_month   => "%d. %b %H:%M",
          }
        }

And then use it like `I18n.l @book.published_on, :format =>
'short_with_named_month'`
