Answer 1

Using toLocaleString you can do this:

var date = new Date(Date.UTC(2012, 11, 20, 3, 0, 0));

// request a weekday along with a long date
var options = {weekday: "long", year: "numeric", month: "long", day: "numeric"};
alert(date.toLocaleString("de-DE", options));
// → "Donnerstag, 20. Dezember 2012"

// an application may want to use UTC and make that visible
options.timeZone = "UTC";
options.timeZoneName = "short";
alert(date.toLocaleString("en-US", options));
// → "Thursday, December 20, 2012, GMT"
