You could have a look at the ZTimestamp package (you can load it using the Configuration Browser, the repository is http://www.smalltalkhub.com/#!/~SvenVanCaekenberghe/Neo). It has a class ZTimestampFormat which currently formats & parses dates/times/timestamps in 4 languages "by example". You could add Spanish, I guess. Contribution are welcome.
For example, (ZTimestampFormat fromString: '_3 February 2001') french; parse: ' 7 Août 1967'. > On 05 Apr 2015, at 18:18, Offray Vladimir Luna Cárdenas <off...@riseup.net> > wrote: > > Hi all, > > I'm making a small data scrapper[1] in pharo to feed some visualizations.
