"in three weeks" doesn't work

[sils]

In [2]: dateparser.parse('in two weeks')
Out[2]: datetime.datetime(2017, 3, 31, 23, 42, 45, 268823)

In [3]: dateparser.parse('in three weeks')

In [4]: dateparser.parse('in 3 weeks')
Out[4]: datetime.datetime(2017, 4, 7, 23, 42, 53, 854388)

Yeah, It is not working for more than two days, weeks, months and years . Examples:

• dateparser.parse('in three weeks')
• dateparser.parse('in five days')
• dateparser.parse('in eight months')
• dateparser.parse('in eleven years')

But these are working:

• dateparser.parse('in one weeks')
• dateparser.parse('in two days')
• dateparser.parse('in 3 weeks')
• dateparser.parse('in 5 days')
• dateparser.parse('in 8 months')
• dateparser.parse('in 11 years')

I think it is because of this:- https://github.com/scrapinghub/dateparser/blob/master/data/languagefiles/en.yaml

`simplifications:

• day before yesterday: 2 days
• yesterday: 1 day
• tomorrow: in 1 day
• today: 0 days
• last (week|month|year): 1 \1
• next (week|month|year): in 1 \1
• an: 1
• a: 1
• one: 1
• two: 2
• (\d+)\s*hr(s?): \1 hour\2
• (\d+)\s*min(s?): \1 minute\2
• (\d+)\s*sec(s?): \1 second\2
• (?:12\s+)?noon: '12:00'
• (?:12\s+)?midnight: '00:00'
• (\d+)h(\d+)m?: \1:\2
• less than 1 minute ago: 45 seconds
• (?<!from\s)now: 0 second

I had submitted a fix for this issue. Now we can parse upto twelve. #299 This is my first commit to this project so kindly review this patch @waqasshabbir

Hi! Thanks for bringing that up. The issue is related to https://github.com/scrapinghub/dateparser/issues/46 (and I even have a quite stale branch for that, that I haven't worked on for a while: https://github.com/scrapinghub/dateparser/tree/feature-numerals-to-numbers). It's actually a bit complicated to solve it for more languages than just English. But of course @atultherajput's input is very welcome here for a good start.

Hey @asadurski I would like to work on this issue. I think we can use CLDR database for that.

I'm using the pip install to get the dateparser. is this issue fixed in the latest version?

Since this specific issue has been fixed, let us keep track of this at #46.
