Richard, It is not exactly what you want but it is a good starting point. It will be quick to use, modify and extend. It takes a couple of ms to translate and we use it as a custom tag. It is good for small translations.
Add the tcf to your site and add the transdate.xml file to the custom tags
directory of the witango server.
We call it like this.
<@TRANSDATE
DATE="<@CURRENTTIMESTAMP FORMAT='datetime:%A, %B %d, %Y'>"
LANGUAGE="FR"
>
To add more words to translate just extend the array.
