Answer 1

Use the following:

new Date().toLocaleDateString();

Then as per your requirement just change locale for your application:

import { registerLocaleData } from '@angular/common';
import localeFr from '@angular/common/locales/fr';
registerLocaleData(localeFr);

//Provide the locale in any Module or Component by the LOCALE_ID token.
providers: [
 {provide: LOCALE_ID, useValue: 'fr'}
]
