That shouldn’t happen (anymore). When is error displayed? I tried the locale zh\_TW and zh\_CN there was no error on the starting screen. Maybe I tried the wrong locale?

I have tested version 0.A-393-g9fd5285 without problems. But I remember I had that debug message in a previous build. It was related to the changes of the various string formatting functions. But it’ gone now.

Does it still happen? If so: does it happen in any other locale setting?
