Thank you for filing this issue.

Currently, LexNLP's English language date extraction module uses an en-US-style locale configuration. This means that dates delimited by forward-slashes are understood to be written in middle-endian format, i.e. MM/DD/YYYY.

The German and Spanish language parsers default to little-endian date formatting, i.e. DD/MM/YYYY. These are respectively available under lexnlp.extract.de.dates and lexnlp.extract.es.dates.
