How can I format date by locale in Java? [duplicate]

Yes, using DateFormat.getDateInstance(int style, Locale aLocale)
This displays the current date in a locale-specific way.

So, for example:

DateFormat df = DateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.SHORT, yourLocale);
String formattedDate = df.format(yourDate);

See the docs for the exact meaning of the style parameter (SHORT, MEDIUM, etc)
