(Sorry if this is too wide a net to cast, I couldn't find a more specific 
mailing list.)


I ran into the following issue the other day.  Django template code like 
"{{ now|date:'E' }}" currently returns an uppercase month name like "Marzo" 
for Spanish. But it should return "marzo" right, since month names are not 
proper nouns in Spanish?


Python's strftime('%B') uses lowercase in Spanish. So does python-babel and 
similar projects. Even Django used to use lowercase before a mass 
translation merge in 2013 [1] (in which this change might have been a 
mistake?).

I believe the fix is to change the Spanish "alt. month" translations in 
Transifex to lowercase. I had opened a bug, but was directed here.

Thanks for looking!
