Date parsing fails for non-English localized dates

Open

Bug Description The data retrieval actor frequently encounters dates localized in languages other than the expected English default, such as Spanish, French, or Portuguese.

This causes two main problems:

  • Our system has issues correctly interpreting (parsing) the localized date formats.
  • The "Only reviews after [YYYY-MM-DD]" filter fails to work as expected.

Steps to Reproduce -Run the actor on a data source where dates are localized in a non-English language (e.g., French: 25 mai 2025). -Apply the "Only reviews after [YYYY-MM-DD]" filter. -Execute the data retrieval process. -Observe the results.

Expected Behavior The system should correctly parse dates regardless of the locale (language). The date filter should reliably fetch only the records that fall within the specified date range.

Actual Behavior When encountering non-English dates, the filter's behavior is incorrect and unpredictable. Two failure modes have been observed: -Sometimes, it fails to find any records, even when valid records exist within the specified date range. -At other times, it retrieves records that are actually outside the specified date range.

Environment Actor/Software Version: 0.0.19

Additional Context This issue breaks a core filtering functionality and impacts the reliability of our data collection process. The root cause appears to be a lack of robust date parsing for multiple locales.
