Why does the file name of the language files change with every release (as it includes the version number)?
That way it always falls back to english and I have to reselect it again.

"What about Love?" - "Overrated. Biochemically no different than eating large quantities of chocolate." - Al Pacino in The Devils Advocate

That is a good point.
I originally added version number in the file name as it was requested by the hosting to having an unique file name for all uploads, and as I planned to release new language files as soon as they was provided by translators, I had to add version number to the name to not overwrite previous version's language files (that someone could have needed) and to help users to spot out at first sight which ones were the newer files.
I think in next release I'll change this convention:
1) not using -x.y version suffix in the language files names inside PeaZip's packages, so language can be preserved when updating;
2) publishing contributed translations as compressed files, with -x.y version suffix in the name of the archive (unique name is needed by the hosting) but not of the language file.

By the way, I would kindly like to ask PortableApps to update application's links, as the new official PeaZip website is http://www.peazip.org/ (the one on SourceForge now contains a 301 moved).
