Was my first though, but then all dates are none with no workaround.
This translate-trick impresses me.
Thinking about /desktop with broken smart-update -brrr.
Patching ftp again ;-)
Better would be
a) a block system/schemes/ftp/translate-month (initial empty)
b) and/at least a /custom which understands 'translate-month
c) =a extended to a server-specific host-list
with server-specific translations(like proxy. to big?)
its users response then.
If they know their host they have dates.
