 * Go to Settings -> General
    You will find the options to change the format of 
   the date in that page.
 * And to change the month into local language you will need to install the WordPress
   in the local language.

 * Hi,
    It should be change in code because we provide the custom date for the events
   so it is situated at themefolder->inc-> custom-metabox.php and you can find jan
   to dec in there so change it to your local language. Thanks,

   file you indicated above and it works! However, as mentioned before, I still 
   have a similar problem in Events with the “More” label of the read more grey 
   button … i would to translate it in Italian … in this case where i should do 
   the changes, since i didn’t find a specific code in the custom-metabox.php file
