Bug #46901 Date format in configure what's new does not reflect User Preferences Locale

Description:
The date format in configure what's new popup does not reflect the Locale set in User Preferences.

How to repeat:
- run Dashboard
- go to Settings tab, User Preferences page and set Locale to Deutsch
| date format on footer is something "dd.mm.yyyy"
- go to What's New tab and click on "configure what's new"
| date format in "Last Check" is "yyyy-mm-dd"
