Hello there!

Maybe in this scenario it would be better to create a shim/facade function to format the dates?

```auto
from django.utils import date_format
from django.utils.translation import get_language

def date_format_basque(value):
  return "something"

def my_date_format(value):
  current_lang = get_language()
  if current_lang == "eu" or current_lang == "eus":
    return date_format_basque(value)
  return date_format(value)

# using it

from django.utils import timezone

print(my_date_format(timezone.localdate()))

```

Let me know if this works for you, or you’re looking to something else.
