Overview

-*- coding: utf-8 -*-

Purpose: Extend the date parsing capabilities of Ruby to work with dates with international month names.

Usage:

Date.parse_international(date_string) DateTime.parse_international(date_string) date_string.to_international_date

Notes: 1) This routine works by substituting your local month names (as defined by Date::MONTHNAMES) for the

international names when they occur in the date_string.

2) As distributed, this code works for French, German, Italian, and Spanish. You must add the month

names for any additional languages you wish to handle.
