A useful program. Thanks.
Thanks for the BUG report, we tested and saw the bug, will fix in next version.
I found a problem, after I set the language for the first time; and then clicked on options; and when I clicked on save when I changed other options; the language would change back to auto;
(发现个问题,我第一次设置语言后;再点击选项;修改其它选项的时候点击保存的时候;语言又会变回auto;)
