RibbonCustomizer: V1.1 soon available in German, first V1.2 beta build available
RibbonCustomizer V1.1 will soon be available in German. The program has already been translated completely into German and is undergoing testing in German currently. The German Customize Ribbon dialog will look similar to what you can see in this screenshot:

How will you be able to switch RibbonCustomizer between English and German? You won’t and don’t have to. RibbonCustomizer will automatically use the same language as your Office User Interface. That means, if your User Interface language is German, RibbonCustomizer will be in German. Otherwise, it will be in English.
In case you didn’t know: Support for RibbonCustomizer is available in English and German. Even though this entire website is in English, I do speak German as well (German is actually my native language).
Besides adding German as UI language, I have also started working on V1.2. As previously announced, I will make frequent beta builds of V1.2 available. Please keep in mind though that beta builds are inherently unstable and have not undergone significant testing. I will try to make sure that the beta builds won’t crash right away, but I can’t guarantee anything. If you want a stable and reliable RibbonCustomizer, please stay with V1.1.
I posted the first beta build (1.2.2686.6056) on the beta program page today. This build already features the German UI language. If you only want RibbonCustomizer in German, please wait till V1.1 will be released with that. The first new feature in this beta build is that you can edit tab labels of Microsoft tabs.
Lastly, I wanted to point out that you can become an affiliate of pschmid.net Ltd. As affiliate, you offer RibbonCustomizer on your website and receive a commission whenever someone buys it via your site. The work for you is minimal (mainly place a link on your site) and you will not be responsible for support, but at the same time you can earn some money. If you are interested, please check our the Affiliate page.

Hallo, ich habe gerade den Ribbon Customizer (Datei RibbonCustomizerV1.1.2673.22577.exe) auf einem System mit Windows XP Home Edition und Office 2007 erfolgreich installiert, das Add-In wird aber von Word deaktiviert. Wenn ich es von Hand versuche wieder zu aktivieren, bekomme ich die Fehlermeldung “Laufzeitfehler beim aktivieren des Add-Ins”. Das “Customize Ribbon” wird unter “Ansicht” nicht dargestellt.
Kann es daran liegen, daß das Office-Paket in Deutsch installiert ist und der Ribbon Customizer in Englisch ist?
Vielen Dank für jegliche Hilfestellung!

Hi Guido,
nein, das Problem liegt in einem Crash, der vom Microsoft .NET Framework ausgelöst wird. Da ich leider den Crash auf keinem Computer nachvollziehen kann, arbeite ich gerade mit Microsoft Support daran herauszufinden, was los ist.
Falls Sie behilflich sein wollen, schicken Sie mir bitte eine Email (Adresse steht auf der Support Seite).
Danke,
Patrick
