The first localization goals would be:
- online help
- online error/warning message
- documentation (and web site)
- local date handling (day name and parsing order).

For now, the Yokadi dateutils.ParseHumanDateTime is quite simple but yet 
powerfull. I don't think that we should make it too complex. If we want 
advanced date parsing facilities we can have a look at the excellent work of 
Gustavo Niemeyer here :
http://labix.org/python-dateutil#head-a23e8ae0a661d77b89dfb3476f85b26f0b30349c

It would add another dependancies to Yokadi. This one is quite common and 
already packages in numerous distributions.

BTW, it provides the excellent, again, rrule class that can handle date 
recurence quite well (I've use it in my "Chronix" scheduler project (see my 
github accound). That was a user whish in a linuxfr.org comment :
