Gphoto2 UI does not fetch language-specific names for
month and week day names using locales. As a result,
translators have to retranslate everything in po-files e.g.

> #: gphoto2/main.c:466
> msgid "Jan"
> msgstr "tam"
>
> #: gphoto2/main.c:466
> msgid "January"
> msgstr "tammikuuta"

This could be fixed using locales and parsing the
message strings using functions such as strptime.

    It is indeed the wrong solution to have MonthTable and
    WeekdayTable in main.c. And in the code, those tables seem
    to be always used with sprintf.

    All date/time related sprintf calls should be replaced by
    strftime().

    I made a patch, which I will submit right away.

    I was unable to compile gphoto, so I couldn't confirm the
    patch actually works.

    we use strptime in current cvs (for 2.1.6 release)
