Markwhen Obsidian Plugin: Gantt drag-and-drop changes 1 day to 1 dia, breaking visualization

Body:
I'm using the Markwhen plugin in Obsidian, with the following header configured in my timeline:

dateFormat: d/M/y

However, when I drag a task bar in the Gantt chart to adjust its duration, the plugin automatically replaces the English duration (1 day, 2 days, etc.) with a Portuguese version (1 dia, 2 dias, etc.). After that, the task disappears from the Gantt view — likely because the localized string breaks Markwhen's syntax.

I've already changed the Obsidian interface language to English, but this behavior persists. It seems the editor's drag-and-drop action uses the system or browser locale to format the duration, not respecting the original language.

📌 Is there a way to force the duration units to always remain in English (day(s)) when using the Gantt drag feature inside Obsidian?

Any workaround or config tip would be greatly appreciated!
