German language bug "Save as" dialog

Post by KevinHochschild »

Hello,

I think i've found a bug in the german version of PDF XChange Pro 8.0.341.0.
In the "Save as" dialog, some of the entries are in english, as shown in the screenshot.

In version 8.0.331.0 was everything alright, as you can see in the screenshot.

Is this really a bug or just a lack of configuration? Im using Windows 10 Enterprise Build 18363.
Thanks for your response.

Greetings

Hi Kevin,

thakns for the ppost and report. I tried switching from US English to German in 341,and for me the dialogue appears as your old screen shot:

Do you have German set by default due to your regional settings? What happens if you switch to US English, close the Editor, then on restarting the Editor switch to German in the Preferences?
Best regards

Hi,

I can reproduce the problem on my German Windows:

With "Use regional settings", I get the partly translated save as dialog.
Selecting "German" explicitly, the save as dialog is translated fine.

Kind regards
Mike

Thanks Paul and Mike, this works for me too. The problem is, that I'm installing the software over a software distribution.
I'm using the following command for installing:

Code: Select all

Call MsiExec /I "%SRC%\ProV8.x64.msi"  
ADDLOCAL="ALL" 
REMOVE="F_IEAddin,F_BrowserPlugins,F_IEPlugin,F_NPPlugin" 
SET_AS_DEFAULT="0" 
VIEW_IN_BROWSERS="0" 
DESKTOP_SHORTCUTS="0" 
USERNAME="%User%" 
ORGANIZATION="%Orga%" 
USERMAIL="%Mail%" 
EDITOR_LANGUAGE="de-DE"  
REBOOT=REALLYSUPPRESS ARPSYSTEMCOMPONENT=1 /qn /Li "%MSILogFile%"
I'm already using editor language de-DE for configuration, I cant set the language manually at every computer. Do you have a fix for this?

Problem solved. The parameter changed from EDITOR_LANGUAGE to APP_LANG. Now it works, thanks everybody.

Actually, I think this should be fixed for all other users, too :)
Could you please check, why "Regional settings" work different than using the language explicitely (because "Regional settings" is the default for all)

Hi, BigMike

No worries, The dev team was notified of this the other day when it came up in discussion and they are already looking into why there is a difference between these two settings. This should hopefully be resolved shortly.
