Dahua NVR Web Interface text not showing properly after upgrade

Dear all,

I manually upgraded my NVR to the latest firmware on Dahua's website. The last time I upgraded the firmware was in 2019. Subsequent attempts and clicking don't he button didn't reveal any new firmware. Hence, after I found a new version on the website today, I did a manual upgrade.

My issue is the text on the WebInterface looks wrong (see image below). It is like the language file was not available, or pointed to the wrong file.

Any help on how to proceed will help. Many thanks.

Warm regards,
CT

NVR: Dahua DHI-NVR5232-4KS2
OLD firmware: 2019 firmware
New firmware: DH_NVR5XXX-4KS2_MultiLang_V4.002.0000000.5.R.220729

WebInterface with rather strange wordings.

This is the System Config > Language.

Alas, my Windows 11 doesn't come with Internet Explorer anymore... I've tried in Edge, and the result is the same.
Edge in Internet Explorer mode?
 
Perhaps trying to reinstall the firmware? Or try a factory reset?
I've tried to reinstall the firmware, DH_NVR5XXX-4KS2_MultiLang_V4.002.0000000.5.R.220729, but no difference. I've used both the webinterface and configtool to upgrade the firmware, but no luck.

I've yet to do a factory reset. hhm.. not sure if that's going to help
