Thx to mchubby for mentioning this to me. Works fine with the few games I tried (kirikiri, LC-Script, Alicesoft System), feedback is also pretty positive from the chinese community. You can also run it from the command-line with LEProc.exe right-click context menu for running executable in a different locale NTLEA and Applocale is no longer supported so you shouldn’t use those.ĭeveloped for Windows 7/8 (XP is not supported), works well with UAC enabled/disabled, better stability/compatibility compared to AppLocale and NTLEA.ģ. Not sure about compatibility, but it seems to be doing quite well. Does the same thing as setting your system locale to Japanese except now it’s much easier. Not all programs, filenames, pathnames are localized, so it won't solve all problems either.Īnd make sure you know how to switch back, you may not be able to read the control panel applets' text, and have to rely on the icon (sort order would change) and button locations.New tool called Locale Emulator (windows). (Office 2007 requires its own MUI, and it also comes with a newer IME, see my other webpages for details Windows 7 CJK IME/MUI setup ) Not available in Home editions (Neither 32-bit nor 64-bit ISOs are available for download from Microsoft SA licensing anymore, like in MSDN|TechNet during beta (TW version supposedly banned now also), you have to get it from WU.) You can also switch your OS UI's language with MUI if you have Enterprise or Ultimate. Like AppLocale, it does not solve all problems either, e.g.

You can also change the system locale for the whole system.

It is a lot easier try to play those files when you can read the title, artist, and album. a) Download AppLocale setup installer: apploc.msi. The later you can use something like ConvertZ. One thing you cannot fix this way is filename (avoid doing that, program may not run if the path has foreign characters) and media data. You can also create a batch file to run program

If installing on Vista or 7, you'll need to run the installer as administrator. There is a program called AppLocale that does this on Windows XP, Vista, and 7. Hopefully it will let you use the program When Japanese games use standard Windows GUI controls to display text, they need to be started using the correct locale. You probably want to add a shortcut as the last step if you use the program a lot Since it has not been update for Windows Vista and Windows 7, you have to install it differently.Īfter you download the msi from (used to, before that ), open a cmd as administratorĬhange compatibility of the installed program to XP That is, to simulate the UI language, timezone, codepage etc. Sometimes you can run them through AppLocale to temporarily get around the problem. Locale Emulator is a tool for Windows 7/8/8.1/10, which can provide the same region simulation feature like NELTA and AppLocale. If you got non-unicode programs that use different languages, (亂碼/乱码) Using AppLocale for non-unicode programs in Windows 7 Using AppLocale for non-unicode programs in Windows 7
