+Hi!
+
+I'm using the ikiwiki calendar plugin.
+
+My website is in french (locale fr_FR.UTF-8), and calendars that are generated by the plugin makes some encoding problem (with "Février", "Août" and "Décembre".
+
+I don't know how the plugin generate translation for dates, but I've seen that there is no ikiwiki translation file  for this.
+
+That's why I suppose (but I'm not sure) that it use date unix command to insert date into the html page, without replacing specials characters with html code ( "é" by "é" for example).
+
+Could I have forgotten some options to make it nice or not?
+
+Is someone could test it and verify if it works or not?
+
+Thanks.
+
+Zut
