Comment (by nbachiyski):

 On line 364 in {{{general-template.php}}} lies the following:

 {{{$text = sprintf(__('%1$s %2$d'),
 $wp_locale->get_month($arcresult->month), $arcresult->year);}}}

 Here, every language can define its own structure for the text. At this
 stage a translator just cannot know what this string is about, however we
 have made some firm steps in that direction and soon we will be able to
 add descriptions for gettext strings. Anyway, let me not digress much :)

 The text for the yearly archive is unconditionally '%d' % year, and the
 daily and weekly archives are locale-aware.

 There certainly is place for i18n improvement in this function. However I
 do not think it will be convenient for most of the translators if we just
 used hooks and they were left with no real chance for translating the
 string. In my opinion we should aim to gather everything around the
 gettext strings idea.

 P.S. 3 simple tricks to get with the formatting here: preview, preview,
 preview :)
