What I was wanting to use the header for was simply to get translations of day 
and month names. Using KGlobal::locale()->calendar() is not suitable, since I 
need to use January, February, etc. or the application won't work. Perhaps 
there is an alternative way of retrieving these translations, without adding 
them as translatable strings in the application?
