"5,30 pm" not recognized by dates(), returns 15 PM

[pietrociatta]

I found an issue while testing some possibile users input, and what i would normally write would be "let's meet at 5,30 pm" but it only recognize 5:30 pm.
This is my code:

 let doc = nlp("let's meet at 5,30 pm");
    const jsonDate = doc.dates().get()[0];

output: {
    "start": "2023-05-24T15:00:00.000+02:00",
    "end": "2023-05-24T15:00:00.000+02:00",
    "timezone": "Europe/Rome",
    "duration": {
        "years": 0,
        "months": 0,
        "days": 0,
        "hours": 0,
        "minutes": 0
    }
}

I cannot see if the issue is mine because on compromise.cool example the calendar only specifies the date
Same problem also with 5.30 pm

thanks pietrociatta - is 5,30 a custom in some countries? I've never seen that before.
You're right- unfortunately there is no way to define custom date interpreters for things like this. There should be!

I'm cautious about doing both 5,30 and 5.30 because it will interfere with the number parser - both of these are valid numbers. Open to it though, if you know something I don't.
cheers
