It seems that Discourse now has an option to localise the interface. Logging on to [https://meta.discourse.org](https://meta.discourse.org) it now has an option under Preferences -\> Interface of "Interface Language" which when set to "English (UK)" puts recent dates in **dd mmm** format. It includes a few dozen languages including German.
