Can I display the long form of a month in datetime display in a language other than english?

Looking at the documentation for text.lang, it says it should affect “all other things which are language-aware”.

However, there seems to be an open issue for formatting dates (or at least months) locally, #2840, but it looks like it’s blocked because of the Rust time crate.

The icu-datetime package seems to add this functionality though, but it displays the full date, as opposed to just a month:

#import "@preview/icu-datetime:0.1.2": fmt-datetime, fmt-date

#fmt-date(datetime.today(), locale: "de")

// Sonntag, 13. Oktober 2
