message(String) - will return the I18N message string (resolved for current user Locale setting) for the specified String message ID.

Thanks for your solution Savic,

${child.properties["cm:created"]?string("dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm:ss")}‍

which won't introduce language related names of month

Thanks again
