International date formats

[jggouvea]

I am a Quora user in English, Portuguese and Spanish. While I have been able to use the script with my English answers, it fails with the answers in other languages because they indicate dates in a quite different way.

I'd be okay to patch the scripts myself (since I only need this once), keeping one version for each language. That's okay because I only need to run the script a few times.

Would you please help me adapt the script so it recognises international dates?

This is the way it is in Portuguese:

less than 24 hours: "Adicionado há 12h"
less than a week: "Adicionado quinta-feira" (the days of the week are "domingo, segunda-feira, terça-feira, quarta-feira, quinta-feira, sexta-feira, sábado")
less than a year "Adicionado 8 de outubro" (the months of the year are "janeiro, fevereiro, março, abril, maio, junho, julho, agosto, setembro, outubro, novembro, dezembro")
more than a year: "Adicionado 30/07/2018" (date format is dd/mm/yyyy and the trailing zero is used).

This is the way it is in Spanish:

less than 24 hours: "Añadido hace 12h"
less than a week: "Añadido viernes" (the days of the week are "domingo, lunes, martes, miércoles, jueves, viernes, sábado, domingo")
less than a year "Añadido el 8 de octubre" (the months of the year are "enero, febrero, marzo, abril, mayo, junio, julio, agosto, septiembre, octubre, noviembre, diciembre")
more than a year: "Añadido el 30/9/2018" (date format is dd/mm/yyyy but the trailing zero isn't used).

Hi, unfortunately I don't have the bandwidth to work on this right now. If you want, you can contribute a patch (ideally it should have a way of detecting the language, and make it easy to extend to additional languages).
