Date format? #3

Closed archont00 closed 5 years ago

Hi,

the class RevolutCSVStatementParser(CsvStatementParser): sets date_format = "%b %d, %Y".

This might be somewhat dependent on OS language settings and language variants Revolut app supports:

English / UK: 18 May 2018
Deutsch / Deutschland: 18.05.2018
Czech: May 18, 2018 (obviously not Czech, but rather English US style).

Any ideas how to deal with that? A dictionary to allow user set his own format?

Really? Can you change the date format in the CSV from Revolut?

My preferred date format would be the German one, but I'm under the impression that the date format in the CSV is completely in the hands of Revolut.

Indeed. Try to change the phone language. (There is nothing to be changed in Revolut.) Trial & Error tells me that if Revolut does not support that language, it sets the English US style date format.

At least, this is how it works on Android.
