[Chandler-dev] Date/time auto-completion patch

[Brian Kirsch]

Hi Darshana,
So to recap it sounds like the date / time portion of the parser is 
leveraging ICU and
thus when the locale is set to French can parse "Mardi" and treat it 
equivalent to
"Tuesday" if the locale was English.

However, if the locale was English and the parser encountered the word 
"Mardi" it
would not recognize it as a day of week token.

Is this correct?

How do the other natural language strings such as "dinner" get localized?

Is this localization of natural language strings documented anywhere 
such as Wiki?


Thanks,
Brian
