How to change help texts to the program language?

Having installed the program in an WinXP of german language, I changed lanuage to english. But when clicking on help (right edge of main program menu), the help texts are still in german!

How to chang that to the appropriate language?

AFAIK it is not planned that the help texts which are located in TOTALCMD.CHM are switched with the program language. 2 solutions either a new installation (no deinstallation is required) with the english language selection or a manual copy of the english TOTALCMD.CHM from installation archive to program folder.

Maybe it would a good idea if it could be used the multilanguage feature of CHM helpfile out of the box during installation.

You can do the following:

1: Copy your current German totalcmd.chm file to TC's language directory and rename the file to wcmd_deu.chm.
2: Use TC to open the Total Commander installation file (for example tc80x64beta25.exe) by pressing Ctrl+PgDn on the file.
3: Press enter on the file install.cab to open it.
4: Go to the folder "e" and open it.
5: Copy the file totalcmd.chm to TC's program directory (overwriting the current German totalcmd.chm).

Now, if you those German language (wcmd_deu.lng) - then the German help will be used. If you choose English (or any other language file that does not have "_deu" before the extension period in the file name) then English help will be used.

OK, I'll have a look at that. But it looks rather strange that this is not automatically installed as soon as you don't only install your "one and only" language - i.e.: if you install only your own language, it might not necessary to be installed. But as soon as you choose to install more languages than only one, ALL .chm-files should be installed in a way that when switching program-language, the help-language is also being changed (without necessary user intervention)!

Can I assume that this problem is gonna be part of the "bugs and improvement list"?

No - I suggest you put it in the TC suggestions (English) section.
