FreeCommander Forum

Using FreeCommander XE 0.0.0.641 (Win32) in Windows7.

In the Settings, change the [Language] from "English" to "Spanish" (or another), then [Apply] (or [Aplicar], the translated button). All FreeCommander interface (the "Settings" windows and the main window) change to selected language.
The bug is: when you change again from "Spanish" to "English". When [Apply], the "Settings" windows change the language, but the main window not change until a program restart.

(sorry by the english language, but I speak spanish)

Not confirmed in build 645 (donor version), nor in build 641 (public version, with default settings).
You hit Apply, then OK to close the Settings window and everything is fine (English to Spanish and vice versa). Or I misunderstood the steps to reproduce it.

Step by Step:
1. In the Settings, change the [Language] from "English" to "Spanish" (or another).
2. The Settings windows automatically change to selected language.
3. Then [Apply] (or [Aplicar], the translated button).
4. The main window change to selected language (Spanish).
5. Change again from "Spanish" to "English".
6. The Settings windows automatically change to selected language.
7. [Apply]
8. The main window not change to selecte language (English).
9. Press [Ok] and main windows remains in Spanish until reboot FC.

Very old problem, still present in FC XE 645
Changing current language in "Tools - Settings" do not change language of function key bar (F3, F4, F5, ... ) in a bottom line of program untill program exit, if it is switched to ON ("Function key bar is visible" and "Show icons" are switched to ON). If we exit program and start it again - all is fine. Problem is not language dependent.
Changing language is done with OK button. Apply is not used.

FCXE 641, default settings:

Between steps 4 and 5 you press [Ok].
The bug is not pressing [Ok]. =)

Come on, that can't possibly be a bug!

But what about function key bar?

Yes, the Function keys bar doesn't get translated when you hit Apply and OK. I consider this to be a bug.
But you don't have to exit FC to overcome this issue; you only need to disable/apply and then enable/apply it in Settings, after you changed the language (I think you only do this once, anyway).

Problem with Function keys was fixed in FC XE 647 (not released yet)
