Description
Based on conversation with @Buzaabah
There are some historical African calendars in specific regions, but it would be more useful as a first step to support parsing contemporary dates in a few African languages, supporting day and month names in the target language and script.
We propose targeting these languages initially:
- Kinyarwanda -
rw
- Ganda -
lg
- Tigrinya -
ti
- written in Geʽez script
Some variant of each of these seems to be present in the python locale
data already; let's start with that.
tasks
- generate localized dates in each of these languages; use each month and weekday at least once. @Buzaabah will review
- test parsing dates in these calendars with existing tools (python datetime, Babel) to determine how much of a gap there is
- start building out an undate parser using localized month/day names and abbreviations with these languages included
