pt-BR localization - month names should not be capitalized

[kendramae]

Month names should not be capitalized in Portuguese (See: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Capitalization_of_Wiktionary_pages#Capitalization_of_month_names) It looks like it originally was correct, but then was changed? (See: #4557) -- it may be as simple as reverting that commit.

Hello kendramae can I work on this issue?

It depends on the situation. Here in Brasil we need to capitalize when it is an proper noun.

Common example: "I was born in January":

CORRECT: Eu nasci em janeiro.
WRONG: Eu nasci em Janeiro.

Proper noun example: "September 11 attacks":
CORRECT: Ataques de 11 de Setembro
WRONG: Ataques de 11 de setembro

We also need to capitalize when it is a single word or it is the first word of a phrase/sentence.
To be honest, I don't think it is that important or is something to be "fixed".

Ainda bem que sei usar a pesquisa, porque já estava abrindo uma issue pra isso mesmo. Parece que o jeito é usar toLowerCase().

I'm glad I use the search, because I was already opening an issue for that. It seems like the way to use toLowerCase().

No, it not depends on the situation. 11 de Setembro is not a date, is a historical fact.

We need to capitalize only when the month starts in the beginning of phrase.

Correct: Iniciou em 01 de janeiro.
Wrong: Iniciou em 01 de Janeiro.

Correct: Janeiro foi o dia da viagem.
Wrong: janeiro foi o dia da viagem.

moment should provide the default case as per the locale rule (lower case for pt-BR), and if you have a special case to handle (start of sentence), it's no longer the responsibility of moment (does not depends on the locale most of the time and never depends on the date itself) so it should be handled afterward: .toUpperCase() on the first letter for example.
