For those interested, it seems like date() always displays date/time
using the US locale, while strftime() uses the selected locale.

For instance, the following does display the date according to the
French locale:

===========
setlocale(LC_ALL, 'French');

//27 December 2007
echo date('d F Y', '1198790064') . "<p>";

//27 décembre 2007
echo strftime('%d %B %Y', '1198790064');
===========

HTH,
