For month names, day names, and the like, AFAIK that is indeed your only option.

Hello,
I was recently asked on the Anglo-Saxon wiki if we could put theday and month names into Anglo-Saxon, but the only way I know of to do this is through the LanguageAng.php file.is there another way, or do I have to have that file installed by someone?
If this is the case, then as another contributor to the Anglo-Saxon wikipedia I would add my voice to that of James to request this customisation file be installed.
I understand this requires the resources of a volunteer developer. While I realize that the creation of ang.wikipedia.org generated some controversy, as Old English is a dead language, I have been quite impressed with the its growth since James announced its existence on the Forum for Composition in Old English mailing list: over the last month we've written 113 articles, on a variety of subjects, largely ones outside the historical Anglo-Saxon world. There are 20 users, with perhaps 4-5 highly active ones.
If this customisation isn't regarded as being worthy of developer resources, I would tentatively be willing to attempt it myself, as I'm quite familiar with CVS, PHP, and a UNIX shell environment. (I say 'tentatively' because I'm not sure how much of my time would be required in learning the system and/or proving I'm sufficiently trustworthy and competent to be given developer priveleges).
Thanks,
Steve
