Before I invent the wheel, is there an i18n method of getting the name of the month in the current language? If day.getMonth() returns 1 and the language is English, supply the name “February”.

This is controlled by the locale - and should happen automatically. To test it - change your locale to spanish or some other language, restart Servoy and check it out.
