Language issue with match date Thu Mar 01, 2018 5:18 pm • by alephtaph@gmail.com
Hi everyone

I use Hazel since a while now but I noticed a wired behaviour now. I can't recall if it came with an update or why it is not working anymore.

Here my issue:

I have a rule that checks a folder for pdf and then according to some settings it applies some effect (thats obvious :-) it also checks for a date inside the document and there the issue starts. I live in German speaking Switzerland but my Mac and everything is set to English, but the bills I receive are in German.
In the bill there is the date i.e. 1. Januar 2018 I set the date match to 31. December 1999
The rule does not recognise the file and date. But it used to work.
When I change the Mac language to German, it works even doe the Hazel App is still in English, then it works. I change the language back, and it does not work.

I work in the IT industries and like to keep my computers in English, even doe I'm a native Swiss guy :-)

Any Ideas why it is not working anymore?

Thanks for your help and suggestions.

Do you have both languages in the list of languages? Hazel will use whatever languages are in that list but if you are removing the languages every time you switch then you are limited to what's left in that list.

Thank you @MR_NOODLE

It worked. I must have deleted the German language from the panel.

Thanks so much and have a great weekend.
