Yes, you can do it. The function "_" will translate the string returned
by "DateTime.Month()", if the translation is available.

The function "N_" just returns the same string. It's used to mark up
strings to translate, so the extraction tool (zgettext.py) can detect and
add them to the PO files.

You just need to know which are all the values that the "Month" method
can return and add a line for each one:

N_('January')
N_('February')
...
