// GS shows the name of the month always in English independes from the language configured by the user. Why we have two Marchs I don't know
var month_names = { "Jan" : 1, "Feb" : 2, "Mrz" : 3, "Mar" : 3, "Apr" : 4, "May" : 5, "Jun" : 6, "Jul" : 7, "Aug" : 8, "Sep" : 9, "Oct" : 10, "Nov" : 11, "Dec" : 12 };
