The same text does not works

[Alex04Charl]

x = "De las 21:58 horas del 10 de julio a las 01:12 horas del 11 de julio"
y = "De las 23:08 horas del 10 de julio a las 00:52 horas del 11 de julio"

search_dates(x)
search_dates(y)

First one, does not detect day but second one it does

Hi @noviluni @Alex04Charl @Gallaecio
I tried to debug this issue and found that the language detected for both cases was incorrect.

I guess, the logic to detect languages is a little unreliable. How can I help to fix this issue?

[Gallaecio]

Does it work better passing one of the new language detection functions to search_dates?

[dishantsethi]

I am not sure about new language detection functions but we can use textblob library to detect languages. @Gallaecio

[Gallaecio]

Forget language detection here, passing the right language causes both inputs to fail:

>>> search_dates(x, languages=['es'])
>>> search_dates(y, languages=['es'])

[dishantsethi]

'es' isn't the right language code of french. Try passing 'fr' as the language code.

>>> search_dates(x, languages=['fr'])
>>> search_dates(y, languages=['fr'])

You mistakenly passed the language code of spanish. @Gallaecio

[Gallaecio]

The sentences in the original report are in Spanish.

[dishantsethi]

Agreed, the sentence is in Spanish but the expected result comes when 'fr' is passed in languages.

[Gallaecio]

Those results are not correct either, they are missing the date part (picking the current date instead). In any case, it should work with es, anything else is a bug.
