Answers.Text: Thanks Brad, I started with the plugin, but with my next level php skills ;-) eventually decided to just pickup the local date and translate that in the template (see underneath)

  The Craft/Twig [dateFilter](https://craftcms.com/classreference/etc/templating/twigextensions/CraftTwigExtension#dateFilter-detail) that you're using will currently only translate the string into the current locale the site is set to.
  
  You could probably write a [plugin](https://pluginfactory.io) that added its own Twig Extension that added its own filter... let's call it `|translatedDate` and you could pass in the target locale code as a parameter `|translatedDate('en_us')`.
  
  That filter would do something like:
  
  ```
  $currentLanguage = craft()->getLanguage();
  craft()->setLanguage('en_us');
  ...
  // Do logic similar to Craft's existing date filter
  ...
  craft()->setLanguage($currentLanguage);
  
  ```
