Bug ID: 53924
Summary: Inputting dates with written out months only works if
you're inputting them in English
Product: Wikimedia
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Wikidata

If I want to put a date in (say a release date), I can do it numerically, or I
can do it with text like "November 2, 2001", which is how it's expressed in
English Wikipedia infoboxes. I cannot, however, imput dates on Wikidata by
putting in "14 de febrero de 2002", which is how it's expressed in the Spanish
Wikipedia infoboxes. Now, I'm not a Spanish speaker, I'm an English speaker, so
this doesn't effect me, but the lack of support for other languages has to be
impacting quite a few people. I tested a few languages "1999년 9월 30일" (Korean),
"28. Oktober 1999" (German), "16 novembre 1999" (French), etc., and if there's
any language other than English that's supported, I haven't found it.
It'd be really nice if we could support other languages' date formats.
