DateFormatter's method date(from: String) returns nil for specific dates in specific languages in Swift

问题

I really don't get what is happening with this code, I'm trying to convert a string to date. What I don't understand is that the conversion works for most of the dates, but doesn't work specially for only 2 dates.

let dateFormatter = NSDateFormatter()
dateFormatter.locale = NSLocale(localeIdentifier: "es")
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "dd 'de' MMMM"

dateFormatter.dateFromString("1 de octubre")
dateFormatter.dateFromString("2 de octubre")
dateFormatter.dateFromString("3 de octubre")
dateFormatter.dateFromString("4 de octubre")
dateFormatter.dateFromString("5 de octubre")
dateFormatter.dateFromString("6 de octubre")
dateFormatter.dateFromString("7 de octubre")
dateFormatter.dateFromString("8 de octubre")
dateFormatter.dateFromString("9 de octubre")
dateFormatter.dateFromString("10 de octubre")
dateFormatter.dateFromString("11 de octubre")
dateFormatter.dateFromString("12 de octubre")
dateFormatter.dateFromString("13 de octubre")
dateFormatter.dateFromString("14 de octubre")
dateFormatter.dateFromString("15 de octubre")
dateFormatter.dateFromString("16 de octubre")
dateFormatter.dateFromString("17 de octubre")
dateFormatter.dateFromString("18 de octubre")
dateFormatter.dateFromString("19 de octubre")
dateFormatter.dateFromString("20 de octubre")
dateFormatter.dateFromString("21 de octubre")
dateFormatter.dateFromString("22 de octubre")
dateFormatter.dateFromString("23 de octubre")
dateFormatter.dateFromString("24 de octubre")
dateFormatter.dateFromString("25 de octubre")
dateFormatter.dateFromString("26 de octubre")
dateFormatter.dateFromString("27 de octubre")
dateFormatter.dateFromString("28 de octubre")
dateFormatter.dateFromString("29 de octubre")
dateFormatter.dateFromString("30 de octubre")

I made this code to try out in Playground, but it reproduces some dates I'm getting in my production code. Take a look in the output that this code produces:

As you can see in the image, it doesn't work for October 8 and 15. Works for all the others. I also tried August and September, and in those months all days work. I also tried to put the dates in Portuguese in pt-br locale, and also doesn't work for October 8 and 15. Is it explainable?

Update: @zneak code produces the following output for me:

In other words, stopped running October 8.

You just need to set your date formatter calendar property:

Xcode 8.2.1 • Swift 3.0.2

let dateFormatter = DateFormatter()
dateFormatter.calendar = Calendar(identifier: .iso8601)
dateFormatter.locale = Locale(identifier: "es")
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "dd 'de' MMMM"
dateFormatter.date(from: "8 de octubre")   // "Oct 8, 2000, 1:00 AM"
