Feature request: option to indicate language for recognition

Talk, speculate, discuss, pontificate. As long as it pertains to Hazel.

Not really sure where I should post this, so please move if not appropriate.

I really like the Custom Date feature, but I run into problems when the month is written in letters, rather than numbers. I've read somewhere that Hazel follows the order of the language preferences in System Preferences, but that doesn't always work for me.

I'd like to have my OS in English, but I process a lot of documents in different languages. I would very much like it if I could set the language to use for processing the month per rule.

Same goes for the conversion to a month in words. I'd like to set the language per rule, not by depending on the System Preferences.

Would that be possible?

The "Open Discussion" forum is more appropriate so I've moved it here.

I'll need to think about it since it's more of an edge case. I might consider a hidden default you set on the commandline but even then, that would make it difficult to do it on a per-rule basis. Would you be ok with it being Hazel-wide?
