### 2/5 — Not all UI is readable….

*2026-08-15, version 5.3.9*

Some of the UI is not readable, and this is due to it being in either the wrong language, and not abiding by its own internal settings or by displaying variable names so for example, if you go to settings, the video top tab header is in the variable name inside of the code I’ve tried uninstalling reinstalling changing language, but the bugs persist. It feels sloppy.
