Ask a generic question about the usage of QLC+, not related to a particular operating system

Hello,
I am absolute beginner and followed the User Documentation. As you see in pic 1, I patched my USB dongle as Output. Then I made a Scene (pic 2) but nothing happens. Why not? Did I overread anything? (By the way: in Freestyler the dongle works.)
And how can I change the language of QLC to English so you could better read my screenshots? (My OS, Win8, is also English)

You might find checking the fixture monitor is a useful troubleshooting tool. (the icon with the screen and green line next to the save as button)
It will help determine whether QLC+ is at least trying to send DMX.
Sometimes, I have found in the past, that I have to select the USB device in inputs and outputs, save the file, close the file and then reopen the file. Worth a try.

I'm quite sure that you have to alter the DMX frequency ... there are numerous posts in the forum
All electric machines work on smoke... when the smoke escapes... they don't work anymore

The fixture monitor shows even values trying to send if no output is selected at all, so cannot help.
Now when I was looking again at the output mapping it says no device! Which is weird because another time I could select it (and it showed DMX frequency of 30 Hz). I found in the User Documentation "The uDMX Output plugin supports the Anyma uDMX USB-DMX... This device is not yet supported on Windows." So odd it was shown working the other day!
