What is the real meaning of the "Select a language [for] non-Unicode programs..." dialog?
- by Joshua Fox
What is the real meaning of the "Select a language to match the language version of the non-Unicode programs you want to use" dialog under Control Panel-Regional Settings-Advanced in WinXP and Win2003?
According to the dialog text, Windows will use this to display the resource strings such as menus. The treatment of text files is application-specific, so this setting will not affect that.
But can I expect any other change in behavior from this setting? Any insights into what is really going wrong?
