Language problem on FR 6
In this version, I can't change the language in the program. Languages are all inactive.
Possibly Unsupported
I haven't checked yet, but they may have switched language handling in 6.0. I know they haven't released any language packs since 5.0, so they may be incompatible.
I installed Foxit Reader
I installed Foxit Reader locally. Then tried it in local application. It's the same. I guess language files haven't released yet.
Included
We included the language files with the portable version. But they're the ones from 5.0. Usually, they continue to work in Foxit even though they aren't updated. But 6.0 is a major change from 5.0 (new UI, new features, etc) so that may not be the case any longer.

Make a copy
before you update. All my custom options were lost.
App Change
The app itself switches from saving settings in one place to another, so settings don't seem to be preserved. Making a backup won't help with that. We maintain both copies in the portable version in the hope that a later release allows you to choose.
