A date formatting fix, and wording that no longer addresses the reader.

Download pitr-config.cmd below — that single file is still the whole tool. No installation,
no dependencies. Double-click it; it requests administrator rights itself.

Last run and next run were shown in US notation on every system, 08/27/2026 instead of
27.08.2026 on a German machine. PowerShell formats a date inside a double-quoted string
with the invariant culture rather than the user's, so "$date" silently produced US order
while the restore point list, which formats explicitly, was correct. Every timestamp now goes
through one helper that uses the short date and time format of the region — the same
everywhere in the window.

Guide and interface no longer address the reader. German had to pick between "du" and
"Sie", and Spanish, French and Portuguese between their familiar and polite forms. That
choice is now avoided altogether by phrasing everything impersonally. In the Romance
languages the imperative carries the same distinction — haga/haz, cliquez/clique,
dê/dá — so those instructions were rewritten as noun phrases, which is the usual register
for technical documentation in those languages anyway. English follows the same style for
consistency.
