For example: Paragon-760-FRU_WinInstallx64_16.16.1_000.exe locale=de This command forces the software to install in German ( de ), regardless of your Windows language.

If you need to switch the interface back to English (or your preferred language), here is the step-by-step process.

If changing the system language does not work, the software may have been installed as a language-specific version. the current version via Apps & Features Programs and Features Download the installer from the Paragon Software Portal During the installation process, look for an "Language"

Under the WinPE settings, you will find an option to .

There are two primary methods to change the language in Paragon Hard Disk Manager: during installation and after installation.

If the interface is in a language you cannot read (e.g., Russian or Chinese), follow this blind sequence to change to English:

: The software typically looks for a file named default.lng . Rename the existing default.lng to something like default_backup.lng to save it.

This is perhaps the most popular method among users of slightly older versions (Version 17 and older) or those using repackaged builds where the language selection dialog was removed during installation. This method involves manually editing a configuration file to trick the software into using a different language pack.

If you are trying to edit the settings.xml (Method 3) but the folder C:\Program Files\Paragon Software\...\resource\lang does not contain a file for your target language (e.g., fr.qm for French), the change will not work. The interface text simply does not exist on your hard drive.

Remember: Paragon Hard Disk Manager is a critical tool for disk management. Changing the language does not affect your partitions, backup chains, or license status. It is purely a visual change.

The Paragon Hard Disk Manager installer automatically reads the Language Preferences of your installed Windows operating system during the setup process. If your Windows is set to German, the software will install with a German user interface. If your Windows is set to English, you get the English interface.

If Paragon repeatedly defaults to English despite your Windows system being set to another language, your specific license tier or serial number might be locked to the international English edition. Reach out to Paragon Software Support to request a license key migration to a localized build.
