Bug in firmware v7.1.8 for AP9630/9631

[runic]

There is a bug in firmware v7.1.8 for AP9630/9631.

Only English works properly, and if you select a language other than English, you will experience problems such as incorrect translation/garbled characters/incorrect grammar/unknown characters.
This is reliable information as I have tested all languages ​​provided with firmware v7.1.8 through repeated firmware updates.

I contacted APC about this issue, but they told me to contact APC's local office. When I contacted APC's local office, they said that since the product is no longer supported, they cannot provide a solution.

APC posted an updated firmware after the support end date,
but I do not understand why APC uploaded an incorrect firmware and cannot provide support.

The English language of firmware v7.1.8 seems to work properly,
but since there are defects in other languages, I question the reliability of the firmware itself.

If there is a defect in the v7.1.8 firmware, APC will not take responsibility for it and will not fix it. I was very disappointed about this and downgraded to the long-used and proven version 7.1.2 because I was afraid that there might be another bug.
