<code>%e</code> is blank-padded day number, or <code>%d</code> for zero-padded. Month and weekday names follow the current locale. On a POSIX style system this is the usual <code>LC_TIME</code> or <code>LC_ALL</code> environment variables. GNU Emacs variable <code>system-time-locale</code> can override this if desired.
