Amazon.Date Slot should recognize date like 1982/08/10 in German
I'm trying to get Alexa to understand the German "zehnter august neunzehn hundert zwei und achtzig" as date, but it always recognizes this as {"value": "2018-08-10"}. It seems it's impossible to pass past dates to Alexa. I think it would be valuable to have that feature.

Hello,
Thank you for submitting an Alexa Skills Feature Request. We are happy to inform you that the feature you have requested has launched!
We can confirm that the most recent version of the AMAZON.DATE built-in slot also resolves past dates into the correct output value.
Please note that the date is provided to your service in ISO-8601 date format, which means the utterance “zehnter august neunzehn hundert zwei und achtzig” returns the value “1982-08-10”, for example*:
‘slots’: {
‘date’: {
‘confirmation_status’: ‘NONE’,
‘name’: ‘date’,
‘resolutions’: None,
‘value’: ‘1982-08-10’}
}
- The slot name for AMAZON.DATE being “date” here.
Please review our developer documentation for more information on built-in slot types: https://developer.amazon.com/en-US/docs/alexa/custom-skills/slot-type-reference.html#date
