What does changing the system locale do (Windows 10)?

312 views

I was trying to install a Japanese game (Fate/Stay Night) on Windows 10, but I kept getting blue screens (not blue screens of death, just windows with weird text and blue background). The guide I used to install it said I need to change my system locale to Japanese, and that worked. But I still don’t know what a locale is and google is giving me answers I don’t understand.

In Windows system local usually given in formats like en-US, es-ES, de-DE etc are used for a number of things. Mostly it is the language used as a default and for program that don’t properly support multilingual interfaces and Unicode text.

It also deal with date formats and how punctuation is used by default when numbers are involved.
