Lightbulb Day of the week or Month in a foreign language

Hey guys, i'm a very new shell script user.

I've been looking everywhere for a proper script to display the day of the week or the month, accurately, in a foreign language of my choosing.

Something where i can just type in the appropriate word in a foreign language in the script and get the same result as the day of the week.

Thanks for any advice/help!!!

much appreciated.
