creates a translation table of non-English month names listed in lang{} mapped to English month names listed in

en_months{}<en_months_t> (which this function also fills).

lang_obj:formatDate() must be given a day in addition to <en_month> else it will use the current day so, if today

is 31 August 2021, without the expicit '1' preceding the month from <en_month>, when creating a translation for

February, April, June, September, or October lang_obj:formatDate() will return the 'next' month.
