Comment(by Denis-de-Bernardy):

 Ah... What a wonderfully complicated grammar. :-D

 There is functionality in gettext to use one of two strings based whether
 it's a plural or singular, but I'm pretty certain that gettext won't
 manage that use-case correctly.

 It's due to the fact that the strings are translated out of context and
 tossed "as is" into the result returned by php's date() function.

 What *is* possible, however, is to programaticaly extract the context
 based on the original requested date format. The patch I'll upload in a
 sec will let you do just that.

 You'd then need to write a plugin that catches whether a day is present in
 the requested format (see http://fr.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php),
 and that translates the resulting string as it should be.
