How can I parse Date format in Java with different locale [duplicate]

Answer 1

You can use following code

//Germany local date
Date date = new Date();
DateFormat dateFormat;
dateFormat = DateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.SHORT,Locale.GERMANY);
dateFormat.format(date);

OR

 SimpleDateFormat simpleDateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yyyy", Locale.GERMANY);
 simpleDateFormat.format(date);

Answer 2

You can use the DateFormat.getInstance() to get a specific instance of formatter for your Locale:

DateFormat format = DateFormat.getInstance(SHORT, locale);
