Yep. Notice, however, that even with Brian's solution, you do need to
set the locale first:

> format(ISOdate(2004,1:12,1),"%B")
 [1] "January"   "February"  "March"     "April"     "May"       "June"
 [7] "July"      "August"    "September" "October"   "November"  "December"
> Sys.setlocale("LC_TIME","da_DK") ;format(ISOdate(2004,1:12,1),"%B")
[1] "da_DK"
 [1] "januar"    "februar"   "marts"     "april"     "maj"       "juni"
 [7] "juli"      "august"    "september" "oktober"   "november"  "december"
