Problem with Dutch automatic indexing of months

The system indexes in many cases the month "Maart" as May but is should be March, see example below:

Can someone look into this?

    @sc woz

    Could you please repeat your answer? Your answer you submitted first seems to be lost.

    Not only in flemish, but also in dutch documents (e.g. the archives of Amsterdam) this happens. The entry "maart" in the document becomes "maa" in the AI-index, which is then interpreted as "mei" (May).

    Typical problem created by the stoacic parrot FamilySearch AI. The quality of indexing by humans is in a lot of cases much better. I do not trust any AI indexed entries anymore.
