AppLocale Utility

Sometimes you may come across some non-Unicode based software/program that you can't possibly run without changing and system locale (which requires a Windows reboot), but after changing the system locale, some other software/program messed up!

One simple solution for all of this: The AppLocale Utility

Offered by Microsoft for free download, AppLocale emulates the software/program using the chosen system locale. Below is an example of a chinese software that run with/without changing the system locale.

Before changing the system locale: (Garbage characters everywhere)

After changing the system locale (or using the AppLocale)

As you can see, using AppLocale saves you the time and effort to change the system locale everytime you want to run a specific software, without rebooting.


How to use:
1) Open up AppLocale
2) Choose Application
3) Select Language
4) Done

You will be promt to save the shortcut of the 'AppLocaled' software if you want, so whenever you wanna open that software you don't need to open up AppLocale everytime.
