How do I override default date formats per locale in Django?

[אורי]

Django developers,

How do I override default date formats per locale in Django? I asked this
question on Django Users and also Stack Overflow but I didn't receive any
reply.

Is it possible to override these values at all?

Is it possible to define settings per language and how?

Hi,

We are using Django 1.11 for Speedy Net. I want to override the default
values of DATE_FORMAT and MONTH_DAY_FORMAT in English, but keep the default
values (or define them again) in Hebrew. So they will not be the same and
will not be identical to Django's default values. In English we will have:

DATE_FORMAT = 'j F Y'
MONTH_DAY_FORMAT = 'j F'
YEAR_FORMAT = 'Y'

And in Hebrew:

DATE_FORMAT = 'j בF Y'
MONTH_DAY_FORMAT = 'j בF'

(and YEAR_FORMAT will be the same).

The template currently looks like this:

{% if can_view_profile and user.date_of_birth %}
    {% if can_view_dob_day_month or can_view_dob_year %}
        <tr>
            <th>{% if can_view_dob_day_month %}{% trans 'Birth Date' %}{%
elif can_view_dob_year %}{% trans 'Birth Year' %}{% endif %}</th>
            <td>
                {% if can_view_dob_day_month and can_view_dob_year %}
                    {{ user.date_of_birth|date:settings.DATE_FORMAT }}
                {% elif can_view_dob_day_month %}
                    {{ user.date_of_birth|date:settings.MONTH_DAY_FORMAT }}
                {% elif can_view_dob_year %}
                    {{ user.date_of_birth|date:settings.YEAR_FORMAT }}
                {% endif %}
            </td>
        </tr>
    {% endif %}
{% endif %}

And I want it to display the dates in these formats in each language. How
do I do it?
