My string will always be of the format: "Tue Jun 30 15:53:24 UTC 2009"
Thus
NSString* myDateFormat = @"%a %b %e %H:%M:%S %Z %Y";;
NSString* myDateString = @"Tue Jun 30 15:53:24 UTC 2009";
myFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] initWithDateFormat:imageDateFormat
allowNaturalLanguage:NO];
myDate = [myFormatter dateFromString:myDateString];
myDate stay nil on non English Oss.
Even if I add the short abbreviations to the formatter.
