Converts the provided date object into a string, while translating
|

its value for the given language. Both the format of the date
|
|
as well as its values (i.e., name of the Month) are translated.
|

If language is Spainish, then the entire date string is returned in
|

lowercase. This is used to work around a bug in the Spanish django
|
|
month translations.

assert date_in_spanish == '23 de deciembre de 2017'
