In Spanish, months are not capitalized.

I just tried Alpine with the above locale. I know Alpine itself is not 
translated: long ago I looked into it, but when I saw the strings in 
Alpine I saw that it was impossible, many strings are impossibly long 
(paragraphs). Mostly the help, it is internal to the code. So I had to 
remove my offer of translation. I was sad.
