It could be good to add a specific tag for the web pages such as
<display-date date="2003/08/29">, but the problem is not as easy as
translating the month in place, since the layout of the words depends on the
language.

It could be done by a perl implementation, tweaking the LC_TIME locale, for
example.

For now, I guess that it means that you cannot update the translations
yourself, sadly enough.

Thanks, Mt.
