Match date formats in other languages

I live in a Spanish speaking country. Some of the documents I process have dates written in Spanish.

It was never an issue, until the last update. The date matching functionality somehow knew how to interpret dates written in alphabetic format such as Ene = Jan.

Not sure what changed but it stopped working with the latest update. Any ideas?

I don't recall changing anything on that front. Do you have Spanish in your system language list? Can you give a specific example of the text (as seen in Hazel's preview) and the pattern you are using?

I do have spanish in my languages list in my Mac

here's an example:
This pattern: 9Ene2013
Is interpreted as 9/02/2013 but should be 09/01/2013

Could it be released;ated to the recent Big Sur (11.2) update?

Are you using automatic date detection? If so, I suggest specifying a pattern instead.
