Answer 1

 In Java 8 there is DateTimeFormatterBuilder you can use it like this:

 

  String dateDemo = DateTimeFormatterBuilder.getLocalizedDateTimePattern

  (FormatStyle.SHORT, null, IsoChronology.INSTANCE, Locale.GERMANY); 

  

  Another option is that you can use toLocalizedPattern()  for SimpleDateFormat .

  For info of toLocalizedPattern()

  

  I hope it may help you out.
