[R] months not working with local language (weekdays does)
Hi, I want to reporte some strange behaviour with the "months" function, from base R. When using "months" to extract months from a date column, I'm getting the months in english, when I was expecting months in spanish. When using "weekdays" to extract days of week from a date column, I'm getting the the days in spanish (as expected). My understanding is that both work with local language. What may be happening?

[R] months not working with local language (weekdays does)
For what it's worth, I tried setting my Region | Formats setting to Spanish (Peru) in Windows 10 Control Panel, and got Spanish weekday and month results. I believe on Windows we use the Microsoft C strftime function to produce these strings, with the %A (for weekday) or %B (for month) formats. So this question probably needs to be addressed to Microsoft.
