Fixed by removing .config/normcap. Note that I didn't edit the files there ever. I used your app for some time in 0.3 version

[dynobo]

Yeah, sorry about that, this was a known issue for updating from 0.3 to 0.4 (or above). :see-no-evil:

#372 explains the details.

If someone else reads this issue: Before deleting the config files, try toggling Arabic (ARA) on and off in the Settings menu, then toggle English (ENG) off and on. That should do the trick, too.
