datetime package (obsolete) FAQ

No, \textdate was defined before multilingual support was added, and so uses the English style of writing a textual date, which won’t be appropriate for other languages, so it won’t look right if used when the current language is not English. If you want to write your own textual date format, you need to bear in mind that the fmtcount package (which is used to convert numbers and ordinals into words) only has very limited multilingual support, and see also Is there multilingual support for the days of the week?.
