title: How do I parse a translated date in Ruby on Rails?
body: <p>I have configured an application in Ruby on Rails with translations to Spanish.</p>
  
  <p>Now I need to parse a translated date, for example:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Jueves, 22 de Noviembre del 2012</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I'm trying to do it this way:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Date.strptime('Jueves, 22 de Noviembre, 2012', '%A, %e de %B, %Y')
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But it throws an <code>invalid date</code> error.</p>
  
  <p>How can I do it?</p>
