If the Mod Date column always shows the month in English, then I will simply use English for the month named folders my script will create.

Nope.  It's determined mostly by the setting in System Preferences > Language & Text > Formats > Region -- set it to something else (you may need to turn on Show All Regions to get a really dramatic effect), and you should see dates in the Finder's "Date Modified" column change immediately.  The language for the relative dates ("Yesterday", "Today") are determined by your primary language (Language & Text > Language), though that might not work if you stripped out all the non-English resources.

That explains all. Thanks! I think I'll stick with simple month numbered folder names.

But, now I have discovered another problem. Specifying a specific date via code such as ...
date "1 2 2000"
Gives different results depending on the date format set by the user. In some format other than US, I might have to express the same date as 
date "2000 2 1"
This is not good! I have a script with the line

set modification date of aFile to date "Saturday, January 1, 2000 12:00:00 AM"

Will this ALWAYS work correctly independently of the date format set by the user ?
