Handling of Calendar and Date in multiple languages

We needed to make a little graph: x-axis the date, y-axis a value. Sounds simple...

but: the date in Elgg is not a date, is it?

We have date fields all referring to the same date, but containing:

  • 1/3/2009
  • 3/1/2009
  • March 1, 2009
  • 1 maart 2009
  • 01-03-09

How do we get the UNIX time stamp or a serial day nr out of this? Why is vendor/Calendar still English only...or is it?
