title: How to use a localized "short format" when formatting dates in Django?
body: <p>I need to display a localized formatted date. If I use django.utils.formats.localize, the date is returned as "June 11, 2012". How could I format the date as to return "06/11/2012", with proper localization (e.g., "11/06/2012 in UK)?</p>
  
  <p>I need something similar to Java's <a href="http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/text/DateFormat.html" rel="noreferrer">DateFormat.SHORT</a>. Is there something analogous to that?</p>
