Expected Behavior
obs-studio should localize %B, %b, %A and %a to match the user's locale (e.g. "August" should be "Agosto" if region and language settings are set to Portugese(Brazil)).
Current Behavior
English is used.
Steps to Reproduce
- Change your region settings to, for example, Brazil.
- Add %B to your filename formatting pattern in Settings>Advanced.
- Start recording, stop recording.

Contributor guide
First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
- Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue through Settings>Advanced using a filename pattern containing %B, then review the OBS log URL and the filename-formatting entry point. Verify the behavior with a Portuguese (Brazil) locale for %B, %b, %A and %a; done means each token uses the user's locale rather than English.
