29018	The 'E' date filter format should return lowercase months for Spanish	Michael Terry	nobody	"Template code like the following:

{{ now|date:'E' }}

should return a month like ""March"" for English but ""marzo"" for Spanish (no uppercase).  I guess 'F' could continue to be uppercase.  But 'E' certainly should respect the locale preferences.

Wikipedia mentions this rule [1]. Apparently it's also on the Royal Spanish Academy's site, but I'm not good enough at Spanish to navigate it.

Python's strftime('%B') uses lowercase in Spanish.  So does python-babel and similar projects. Even Django used to (and rejected a request to make it uppercase in ticket:11173) before commit 6ca475d540361090e8b28154ce5391de718d5c63 in 2013 (which I suspect was a mistake, but I didn't follow why those changes were made in the 1.5 branch).

I suspect the fix is to update the Spanish translation for all the ""alt. month"" contexts to use lowercase.
