Change Language

Paragon Version 16 (rel. 700)

(source)

The language of the hard disk manager 16’s user interface depends on the language of the installed Windows. On a German-speaking Windows, the software is thus installed with a German-language interface, on an English Windows with English-language interface. This applies at least for German and English. Other languages ​​are to be added.

Of course there is the possibility to actively influence in which language the program interface is displayed.

To do this, please install the program from an administrative console. Proceed as follows:

Right-click in the lower left corner and select “Command Prompt (Administrator)” from the context menu. Now you are in a DOS window.
Change to the directory containing the installation file with the “cd” command. For example, if this is your “Download” library, the command is:

cd / d% userprofile% \ downloads
Now enter the command “[your installation program] locale = DE” to install the software in German. Be sure to start the correct installer for your operating system. The command could be, for example:

Paragon-760-FRU_WinInstallx64_16.16.1_000.exe locale = DE

The abbreviation for German is de, the abbreviation for English is en.

Change Language: Version 15 (rel. 299) Not Possible.

Hello,
