Datetime stamps use device locale, not Collect locale #6256

ODK Collect version

v2024.2.0

Android version

14, One UI 6.0

Device used

Galaxy A13

Problem description

When Collect fills in a datetime stamp to a string, it seems to use the device locale rather than the language set in Collect. This is at least the case for the savepoint recovery dialog and the subtext in the form menu screens (e.g. drafts listing).

Steps to reproduce the problem

  1. Set your device language to LanguageA
  2. Set the Collect language to LanguageB
  3. Start filling out a form, enter in some data
  4. Force close Collect
  5. Reopen Collect and the form you were filling
  6. See that the savepoint dialog shows the datetime in LanguageA

Expected behavior

The datetime should be in LanguageB

Another example:

The gregorian date (21 Aug 2024) is displayed instead of (21 ago. 2024) if in Collect we use Spanish but English is set in the device.
