I must argue that it is actually more confusing to show partially localised "dd Mmm yyyy". Most users of the internet understand yyyy-mm-dd regardless of mother language and Wikidata users in particular are used to language fallback chains.
@thiemowmde : Imagine your software displays "2017Jahr5Monat22Tag" (which is the Chinese format string with German words substituted in). This is how users of non-"dd Mmm yyyy" languages currently feel when we use Wikidata. It's worse than defaulting to "2017-05-22" or even "May 22 2017".
May I suggest that we actually display "yyyy-mm-dd" until language-specific date formats are implemented?
I agree and I would suggest the same if the implementation needs longer time.
