$ man date|grep "locale's full"
       %A     locale's full weekday name (e.g., Sunday)
       %B     locale's full month name (e.g., January)
$ LC_ALL=zh_TW.UTF-8 date +%A%B
週日二月
OK that's great. But you forgot
              locale's full day of the month name
E.g., I'll add it on the back for 2/2
週日二月二日
The reason is due to English only having one form: 2, but other
languages might have two.
