Force FormatTime to use different language

[arathra]

I'm having fun with Format Time, in particular:

Code: Select all

FormatTime, vToday,, dd MMM yyyy

This works fine and returns the date in my computer language (English), e.g. 5 Sep 2016

However, is there a way I can force this to return the date in another language, e.g. in Italian it would be 5 Set 2016

I suppose I could do a search/replace but I was wondering if there's an easier way.

Thanks!
