While screen reader is activated, when trying to select a date the screenreader does not say the date out load instead says 'month month year year' i.e 'April April 2022 2022'. This fix will resolve that issue and also format it to be read correctly based on the system's date format.

Issue:
While the screen reader is activated, when trying to select a date the screen reader would say out ‘month month year year’ for example ‘April April 2022 2022’ instead of a date like XX.XX.20XX
Fix:
With the fix with this PR it should say out the currently selected date in the calendar modal. The fix is also optimised to say out the date in the date format of the system itself as well.
