[OS X TeX] datetime package

[Enrico Franconi]

I guess that for the beginner this reduces to:

\usepackage[italian,ngerman,UKenglish]{babel}
%% Example in different languages:
{\selectlanguage{UKenglish}\today}
{\selectlanguage{ngerman}\today}
%% Example on how to customise:
{\selectlanguage{italian}Data di oggi: \number\day / \number\month /  
\number\year}
