use locale for date parsing

Ulrich Windl · August 20, 2014

When adding an entry, standalone Zotero interprets "10.3.2013" for "Datum" in the German version as mm.dd.yyyy (the American way), but that should be dd.mm.yyyy (the German way). It's very likely that many users don't notice that problem as long as dd <= 12.

Thanks, that's a known issue. ticket here: https://github.com/zotero/zotero/issues/64
I agree it's quite annoying because it's indeed easy to miss on entry.
