Translation of month names in Form-Helper input fields

I am currently creating the prototyp of an international application. If I switch to the german version it correctly loads the translations from Locale/deu/LC_MESSAGES/default.po. In this file I have - for example - the following translation.

msgid "January"

msgstr "Jänner"

It works whereever I use __('January'), which is replaced by 'Jänner'.

But the Pull-Down-Menus (displaying the names of the month) generated by the Form-Helper are not translated so far.

I guess I have to implement this using LC_TIME, right?

Could anyone please give me a hint, how I could tune the Form-Helper to switch languages accordingly?

PS: I also tried to add the following line to the bootstrap-file.

setlocale(LC_ALL, 'de_DE.UTF8', 'de_DE', 'de', 'ge', 'deu');

But the Form-Helpers Monthnames are still in english.

Best whishes from Vienna, Alex

Cake uses 'cake' i18n domain for translations in Form helper

__d('cake', 'January')

Use console to extract translations `cake i18n extract` or create cake.po and add needed translations manually
