Now, there's a challenge :) 
Gettext is very good with plurals (https://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/html_node/Plural-forms.html).I 
didn't find anything on date presentation though.
There is the Posix nl_langinfo:
void main () {    Intl.setlocale ();
    print (Posix.nl_langinfo (Posix.D_FMT) + "\n");
}
but all that does is return the format based on the forward slash separator. This can then be used instrftime 
or GLib.DateTime.format(). For my locale (en_GB) I get %d/%m/%y
