date – wp_date would not work

in my unique code the date was wrapped with date_formatted. my web site is bilingual so i must localize date format and identify of months and so forth. i’ve modified it with wp_date however it doesn’t work.

the unique code. the output of date_format is barely english so it’s not good for me.

perform getDateSF ( $begin, $finish )  '. $_end[1] .'</div>';

    return $date;

wp_date is nice for localization however it would not work:

perform getDateSF ( $begin, $finish )  '. $_end[1] .'</div>';

    return $date;
