at last a problem that I might be able to answer :-)))

(and I stress  *might* )

i have kinda the same thing I wanted to do;

i wanted to have a script write to an apple works doc. a 'day-code'

Monday would be  CVlu     tuesday would be  CVma
(dont ask why)

so I made this script up  based on the date format:

***script**
on day_data_of(this_date_object)
set this_day to the weekday of this_date_object
set day_listA to {Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday}
set day_listB to {"CVlu", "CVma", "CVme", "CVje", "CVve", "CVsa", "CVdi"}
repeat with i from 1 to the number of items in day_listA
if this_day is item i of day_listA then
set the day_string to item i of day_listB
set the day_index to i
return {day_string}
end if
end repeat
end day_data_of


set myDay to day_data_of(current date) as text

set the clipboard to the myDay

tell application "AppleWorks 6"
	activate
	paste
end tell**end script**

 But I don't think I can pick "viernes" from this string, since I don't know
 if word-of-dateAsText-which-is-not-a-number is a weekday or a month name...

Right. So ask for the weekday specifically ;)

 weekday of (current date)
 ->Viernes

Did you really did test that? I don't believe it. You're making it up, for reasons known best to yourself. Can't be bothered to test?

'weekday', like 'month', results in a _constant_ which looks like the
English name of the weekday. No matter what you set the International Date
System Preference to, the result is always Thursday, Friday, etc. Never,
ever Viernes.
