License Activation dialog shows up in English when opening the application even in Chinese OS

Activate the software directly from License Manager or after the installation completes.

License Manger prevents Flexlogger Language Switching from working properly

When using a Trial version of FlexLogger 2021 R2 and R3 and switching to a non-English language, the languages shown will be a mix of the selected language and English. This error continues when choosing "Remind Me Next Time" when the Licensing Wizard pops up on software launch.

Workaround:

Select "Remind Me When They Expire" so that the Licensing Wizard is not shown again until the user activates the software or the evaluation expires. This error does not occur when the Licensing Wizard doesn't appear.

In some instances the localized language in the UX isn't fully localized

In some instances, when the localized language is part of a sub-locale, the splash screen remains in English and the Help buttons and Links redirect to the English help file. For example, the behavior will occur on a French (Canada) OS but not a French (France) OS. This bug occurs for all languages with a sub-locale.
