As Tom said, you can use to_char():
test=*# show lc_time;
lc_time
-------------
en_US.UTF-8
(1 row)
test=*# select to_char(current_date, 'TMDay - TMMonth - YYYY');
to_char
-------------------------
Monday - January - 2010
(1 row)
test=*# set lc_time = 'de_DE.UTF-8';
SET
test=*# select to_char(current_date, 'TMDay - TMMonth - YYYY');
to_char
------------------------
Montag - Januar - 2010
(1 row)
