my example should also work with fr or fr-ca what do you get with: echo $_SERVER["HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE"]; ?
the locale-string depends on your webserver. under linux you have to build them first (e.g.: locale-gen)
take a look at the user-notes under http://ch2.php.net/manual/de/function.setlocale.php

I see what you are doing, But don't see where to create fr or fr-ca, for my example?

the variable $_SERVER["HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE"] contains the Accept-Language- Header from the browser -> http://ch2.php.net/reserved.variables
with setlocale() you can set locale-informations -> http://ch2.php.net/function.setlocale
finally strftime() formats a date with the current locale-informations -> http://ch2.php.net/manual/en/function.strftime.php
sample script:
<?
if (preg_match("/^([a-z]{2}).([a-z]{2})$/i", $_SERVER["HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE"],
$m='')) { // e.g. de-ch
$locales[] = strtolower($m[1])."_".strtoupper($m[2]); // e.g. de_CH
$locales[] = strtolower($m[1]); // e.g. de
setlocale(LC_TIME, $locales);
} else if (preg_match("/^([a-z]{2})$/i", $_SERVER["HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE"],
$m='')) { // e.g. de
$locales[] = strtolower($m[1])."_".strtoupper($m[1]); // e.g. de_DE
$locales[] = strtolower($m[1]); // e.g. de
setlocale(LC_TIME, $locales);
}
echo strftime("%B", strtotime("+1 month"));
?>
