Message:

(#69) Ensure month and weekday names are translated.

This is a dirty hack, which basically uses static strings marked for
translation within openworkouts, instead of relying on the python
locale and calendar translations.

We need this hack, as in some operating systems (OpenBSD), using
locale.setlocale() does not make any difference when using calendar.month_name
(names appear always in the system locale/LANG).
