Description
We have date strings for the notes. These are currently in English and it will be a pain to update them manually all the time. We could use intl here but that would require running js (we limit how much js we use, it should really be used for enhancement and this is a readability issue). We could also automatically generate the correct date strings from the _data/stage3.yml file. Open to solutions here.

Research direction
Start by locating the note date strings and the _data/stage3.yml source, then trace how that data becomes the site output. Compare the proposed Intl-based approach with generation from the YAML; done means dates are localized automatically, remain readable without unnecessary JavaScript, and no longer need manual updates.
