A javascript solution for getting the browsers language:

var lang = window.navigator.userLanguage || window.navigator.language;
console.log(lang); //example output: 'en-GB'

You could then use the language in combination with toLocalDateString() to get the correct date format, for example:

var date = new Date(Date.UTC(2012, 11, 20, 3, 0, 0));
var lang = window.navigator.userLanguage || window.navigator.language;
alert(date.toLocaleDateString(lang));

You can execute javascript in selenium like so:

language = driver.execute_script("return window.navigator.userLanguage || window.navigator.language")

I hope this helps.
