I added the missing translations for the lightbox in [UX: Add translations for lightbox · discourse/discourse@7e8579b · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/7e8579b8aaf551c2b9fa5eb2044017284c6270cc).

The “Insert date” dialog should already be fully translatable.

This was fixed in [New user of the month: wrong month, not localized - #5 by gerhard](https://meta.discourse.org/t/new-user-of-the-month-wrong-month-not-localized/110868/5).

Regarding the "YYYY-MM-DD` date format: As far as I can see our datepicker always uses that format. Changing that behavior so that it shows a localized date while making sure that nothing breaks will take a little bit more time. I’ll take another look at this at a later time.
