the_time doesnt respect langauge settings

Hello,

I briefly tested the plugin qtranslate, but it didn’t serve my purpose, so I’ve disabled it.

But now it seems that now <a href="https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Function_Reference/the_time">the_time</a>(get_option('date_format'));
doesn’t respect my language settings in wp-config.php and just returns the language into English.

when I briefly turned on qtranslate I could make the time translate into Dutch, but with qtranslate off, it defaults back to English, while the rest of the blog interface is in Dutch.

Any ideas?
