Good evening Joe,  
The current team working on FxSound is very small, and the amount of programming required to implement even tiny incremental changes and updates, takes a lot of time and effort.  
That being said, the good news is that there are real plans to make FxSound open-source soon, which, if all goes well, should allow for fresh opportunities to modify and improve the program.  
For anyone interested in CLI commands, I’ve also copy-pasted some earlier posts on the topic below.

> [@Language Options](https://forum.fxsound.com/t/language-options/27/13):

> By default the OS UI language will be used for FxSound UI. If the language is not supported, then UI will be loaded in English.  
> To override the OS language and load FxSound in a different language use the command line option,  
> FxSound.exe --language=language code  
> The command line options available are,  
> Korean  
> –language=ko  
> Indonesian  
> –language=id  
> Vietnamese  
> –language=vi  
> Portuguese  
> –language=pt  
> Chinese (Simplified)  
> –language=zh  
> Chinese (Traditional)  
> –language=zh-TW  
> –language=zh-HK  
> –language=zh-MO  
> –language=zh-Hant

> For example,  
> FxSound.exe --language=ko will open FxSound in Korean even if the OS UI is in English
