This is a good plugin. Does what it says, but it would be nice if months would be
translated like original archive widget.

Does the trick and even displays the month on rollover. Cool!

### 󠀁[Nice plugin months not translated](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nice-plugin-months-not-translated/)󠁿

Compact archive list is perfect, but months are always in English and not in local
language (default Archive widget shows months in local language).
