PDF Annotator starts in wrong language

The situation:

After installing an update, PDF Annotator either...

• displays a "Failed to initialize user language" message, or
• starts up in the wrong language, or
• starts up in a mix of English and German.

The language setting under "Extras, Settings, Preferences, Language" (or "Extras, Settings, Voreinstellungen, Sprache") is unavailable (greyed out).

The solution:

A typical cause for this could be that your antivirus software has blocked access to, or quarantined parts of the PDF Annotator application.

Please follow these steps to reinstall PDF Annotator:

• Uninstall PDF Annotator.
• Re-download the latest PDF Annotator version from our Download page.
• Re-install by running the setup. Keep an eye on your antivirus software to see if it reports anything.
