I believe everything is using standard gettext localization.  I'm not 
clear how things like localized dates should work; in theory 
strftime('%c') would work, but it's hardly a well-tuned date format.

There's some discussion here: 
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Python_Style_Guide#Internationalization_and_Localization
-- but that section should really be expanded.  The Pylons document 
actually goes into fairly good detail: 
http://pylonshq.com/docs/internationalization.html

If you aren't using Python, then I don't really know.
