I'm working on an upcoming milestones calendar and I'm printing out the days of the week. I'm having a hard time figuring out how to do this with the localization class and and have it print just the day.

I see the format_date function which I can pass a DateTimeValue and a format, but when that gets passed to Localization->formatDate(), the $format argument isn't used, the Localization->date_format var is used instead.

I want to make sure that when this is used in other languages, the translated day gets printed, so I'm going through what I believe are the correct functions/classes to do this.

Thanks in advance!
