First of all thanx a lot for this post!
I’ll quote a bit of it : “Windows Vista System Locale is used to properly render characters in non-Unicode programs / games / song titles, etc, so long as they’re matching with the new default system locale that you’ve set.”

This is the part where my problem is described. To get more concrete: I am listening to music from all over the world and wmp never displayes the non-english song titles and artists properly. such languages are swedish, russian, icelandic, greek. I have set the locale to greek, but in this case all other langs aren’t displayed properly. what else can be done????

thnx in advance.

You could try AppLocale, which I think should works for your case.

Hi,

This was an excellent post on MUI vs. System Locale. I did have a question though. My vista runs in English and 95% of my programs require english. However, for a few programs, I changed to the Vista System Locale to Chinese to install the few other Chinese programs.

It works perfectly until I change the Vista System Locale back to English. Then the menus no longer work properly. It’s very frustrating. Is there anyway to set it so that when the program is installed in Chinese, that the menus/interface will remain Chinese even when I need to change the Vista System Locale back to English?

I can’t for the life of me figure out how to do this, nor can I find any information on this on the web. *sigh* I’d greatly appreciate any help you could provide.

Thank you so much,
Tim
