Wrong parse results for "%m-%d %H:%M" format

[perkfly]

dateparser.parse("11月08日 12:52")
datetime.datetime(2011, 8, 16, 12, 52)

dateparser.parse("11-08 12:52")
datetime.datetime(2011, 8, 16, 12, 52)

Hi @yifeikong, thanks for opening this issue.

It seems that the first case is a bug. For the second case, it is because of the date order. It is assuming Year-Month-Day. You can change the default behavior by using the DATE_ORDER setting:

>>> dateparser.parse("11-08 12:52", settings={'DATE_ORDER': 'MDY'})
datetime.datetime(2020, 11, 8, 12, 52)

Until the bug with the first date is fixed, you can get the correct result by doing:

>>> dateparser.parse("11月08日 12:52", settings={'DATE_ORDER': 'MDY'})
datetime.datetime(2020, 11, 8, 12, 52)

or

# I think that this shouldn't work, but it does
>>> dateparser.parse("11月08日 12:52", date_formats=['%m-%d %H:%M'])
datetime.datetime(2020, 11, 8, 12, 52)

Let me know if this doesn't work for you
