Ghost, by default, outputs dates in English using the timezone of the server hosting your blog. Although there are no settings inside of Ghost for changing this, it is possible to change both the language and the timezone used to output dates in your theme using jQuery, [moment.js](http://momentjs.com/) and [moment.js timezone](http://momentjs.com/timezone/).
