Hi,
I am German, but I use MLO Desktop with the english interface. Normally, the program accepts german weekdays, too ("Mittwoch" instead of "wednesday"). 
But since some time, when I set the due date to "Mittwoch", for example, by parsing "-dmittwoch", the programm accepts that there is a due date, but it sets the due date to thursday. The same for all the other days of the week: "Sonntag" (sunday) becomes monday etc. 
Very strange, and even more so as it used to work just fine. 
Has anyone an explanation? 
It is no big deal, I can put in the English weekdays. The problem is, however, that the program *does* accept the dates - only in a wrong way -, so when I don't pay attention, the due date is one day off (and on the wrong side, i.e. too late).

Hi Miriam, 

Thank you for reporting this issue. We found that it only occurs when MLO is in English and the Windows OS is in German. Switching both MLO (menu Tools-> Options-> Language-> German) and the system to German should resolve the parsing correctly. We suggest using this workaround until the fix is available. We apologize for the inconvenience.
