I had struggled with “today’s date” because the shortcut to create the journal was not creating the daily notes, it stopped right after creating months notes.
First I translated some parameters name to portuguese so the system could understand. I decided to translate also the month names on the “dictionary” space.
Another bug was set in the fact of the portuguese system does not understand “09 Setembro” as a date, therefore it was not creating the daily notes on the shortcut. The solution was to edit the shortcut parameters of custom date to “ dd 'de' MMMM “ so the system creates a date like “09 de setembro” inspite of “09 setembro”. Also Had to reset the parameter “parar repetição” para um formato de data brasileiro: “31 de dezembro de 2025”
The same fix has to be done in the “open todays date” shortcut
