idoswin free/ pro file manager

[fang-face]

Idoswin Pro (homepage in german) is my prefered file manager. I used to use the free version for a long time until i learned a few weeks ago (see below) that the pro version is fully functional.
---EDIT
Now (V5.66.731, 2012-03-25) IdoswinPro is freeware as well, no more nag-screen on startup.

Maybe a drawback for some of you: it is only available in german (as far as i know).

features:

• dual-pane, vertically or horizontally, with or without folder tree -- unfortunately no tabs
• folder size in bytes or kiB
• file comparison
• folder comparison/ synchronization
• file search and filtering
• view files in hex, binary, text or image format
• built-in editor
• shows file extensions (also pif ..., which are not shown in windows-explorer even if "hide known file extensions" is unchecked)
• keyboard shortcuts/ programme launcher
• customizable user interface
• file splitter
• read and extract zip, cab, rar and ace archives, edit zip-archives

Writes settings to: ini-file in Application folder
Dependencies: none(?)
How to extract: Download the installer-exe and extract to a folder of your choice. Launch idoswin32.exe/ idoswinpro.exe. You can also install it normally to any location (see EDIT below).
Stealth [?]: (?)
License: Freeware
System Requirements: Win2K / WinXP / Vista / Win7 (see bottom of http://www.idoswin.de)

----EDIT
during normal installation according to info.rtf-file: icons in start-menu and on the desktop, registry entry for file type .split and entry for explorer context menu, no other changes in registry or file system, admin rights not necassary. All of these changes are OPTIONAL.

Can this program be used in English? I tried searching the help file for "Sprache" ("language") and couldn't find that; I also looked in the program and didn't see that option offhand.

I have to admit: as far as i know, it is only available in german. because i don't need it i didn't look for that option.
i changed my first post accordingly.

Idoswin Pro is now (V 5.66.731) freeware. Language still german. I changed my first post accordingly.

Well, it's a long time ago. But still my preferred file manager. maybe q-dir comes close to it, but i still stick with idoswin.
up-to-date-version: idoswin pro 5.7.744.
beta: 5.8beta2 from 2018 (ok, not quite new ...)

Is it possible to install a 3rd party English translation software that works in this program? My German is not good so it's quite difficult to use. I would be very grateful if someone could suggest a solution.
