The Revertbot-revert message currently uses an ISO timestamp, and using a translated string would be nicer.
The easiest way to do this is to hook into PyICU (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/PyICU), but that depends on ICU which is nontrivial to install.

| [IMPR] Add support for translated dates/times | Xqt | pywikibot/core | master | +13 -1 |
We have a humongous date.py library which can do this.
>>> s = pywikibot.Site('fa', 'wikipedia')
>>> fd = pywikibot.date.FormatDate(s)
>>> fd(10, 3)
u'3 \u0627\u06a9\u062a\u0628\u0631'
>>> pywikibot.date.formatYear('fa', 2013)
u'\u06f2\u06f0\u06f1\u06f3 (\u0645\u06cc\u0644\u0627\u062f\u06cc)'I am not sure how to stitch the year and month+day together correctly for a locale, but I am sure the voodoo is in that library somewhere .. ;-)
We could also use the site messages for month names, which is the approach that textlib.TimeStripper uses, and ensures good localisation. I wonder if there are other site messages which describe the format of a date used on the wiki.
