The default format for dates is MM/DD/YYYY. To change that format add a suffix to the placeholder. Example {date: format(DD/MM/YYYY)}. For more information go to Date formats and how to apply them in Customizing a minutes template.

Do the templates support other languages?

Yes, you can export content in another language, but template placeholders must remain in English.
