Convert Date Time based on Locale

Hello I am new to FTL Code and I am trying to re format a date based on how a locale would display it.

The error I am getting: (Please look below for more info of the result we want)

The string doesn't match the expected date/time/date-time format. The string to parse was: "août 26, 2035". The expected format was: "MM dd, yyyy". The nested reason given follows: Unparseable date: "août 26, 2035"

<#assign locale = userPreferences.getLanguage()>
        my locale ${locale}<br>
        <#if locale = "en_AU">
            original = ${couponData.expiration}<br>
            <#assign expiryDate = couponData.expiration?date("dd MM, yyyy")?string("dd MM yyyy")>
            format ${expiryDate} <br>
            ${sys.declare("dateMonthYear", expiryDate)}
        <#elseif locale = "en_GB">
            original = ${couponData.expiration}<br>
            
            <#assign expiryDate = couponData.expiration?date("MM dd, yyyy")?string("dd MM yyyy")>
            format ${expiryDate} <br>
            ${sys.declare("dateMonthYear", expiryDate)}
        <#elseif locale = "fr_CA">
            original = ${couponData.expiration}<br>
            <#assign expiryDate = couponData.expiration?date("MMM dd, yyyy")?string("dd MM. yyyy")>
            format ${expiryDate} <br>
            ${sys.declare("dateMonthYear", expiryDate)}
        <#else>
            ${sys.declare("dateMonthYear", "${couponData.expiration}")}
        </#if>

I was able to solve my issue:

it seems in the string MM-DD-YY will format into something like 01/01/2022

Where as was proving three MMM-DD-YYYY will give me Jan 01, 2022

I can manipulate the dateformat inside the string also

<#setting locale="fr">
<#assign expirationDate = expiration?number_to_date?string("yyyy MMM. dd")>
