I once did (OMG, it's been 5 years ago!) a localization for PWS which 
is still in production on some Swikis:

	http://balloon.cs.uni-magdeburg.de/squeak/PWSLocale.14Dec254pm.cs

It introduces a PWSLocale class that handles various aspects of 
localization, including printing dates. This might be a base for a 
general Locale class in Squeak.
