Code

function date_t($string) {
  static $replace;
  if (empty($replace)) {
    $replace = array();

    // Translate the whole name first, then look for abbreviations.
    $untranslated = date_month_names_untranslated();
    foreach (date_month_names_translated() as $delta => $month) {
      $replace[$untranslated[$delta]] = $month;
      $replace[drupal_substr($untranslated[$delta], 0, 3)] = drupal_substr($month, 0, 3);
    }
    $untranslated = date_week_days_untranslated();
    foreach (date_week_days_translated() as $delta => $day) {
      $replace[$untranslated[$delta]] = $day;
      $replace[drupal_substr($untranslated[$delta], 0, 3)] = drupal_substr($day, 0, 3);
