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.

>The system locale controls the language used when displaying text on programs that do not support Unicode.
Unicode is a text encoding standard that covers all languages, the game didn’t use that and so it needs the Japanese locale to work properly so it knows how to show the text.
