Hi Francis,

the date is (usually) parsed from the HTML output generated by
[[commons:Template:Information]], which calls [[commons:Template:ISOdate]],
which eventually calls {{#time}} to format the date per user language
preference. {{#time}} will use the content language of the wiki (English), not
the user language, as far as I am aware.

Even if it would be in the correct language, consumers of the API might want to
do other things with the date than just display it, so a machine-readable
format (simply "2000-03-15" in the example) is preferable IMO.
