 * In order to localize the plugin with the setlocale php function you should use
   [strftime](http://php.net/manual/en/function.strftime.php) rather than [date](http://php.net/manual/en/function.date.php).
   Otherwise the first month name displayed is in English and the date above the
   event content stay in English.
 * Eveywhere it exists a format with F format it is better to use strftime with %
   B format.

 * Or like suggested by shundwen use date_i18n instead of date when a ‘F’ format
   is used.
    By using date_i18n you can keep the date format.
