birthday localisation string?

Could we add a lang option for calendars of type = birthdays, so that a localized string is used?

Yes, but as there is no localisation in khal of any kind right now, so this would either be a special case or we would need to tackle localisation in general.

[sharethewisdom]

Maybe allow users to specify format strings under [locale]? (I randomly chose one-letter specifiers)

[locale]
bdayformat = "%a's %nth birthday"
anniformat = "%a's %nth anniversary"
miscformat = "%nth %l"

where %l in miscformat could be X-ABLABEL (I don't really know how that's used).

I'm referring to

where the description could be composed. Would an (english) default be set here?
