Additional Information
since month is standalone a standalone context should be used
I think we're using CLDR correctly, using the format
-context format for the component when formatting dates. If you can find official CLDR documentation saying that the stand-alone format for a component should be used when there's a single component in the format, I'll stand corrected.
If you need just the name of the month in any given context you like, you can use get_month_names()
with e.g. context="stand-alone"
.
ok that is good enough solution
