Non-Unicode Programming Languages

Anonymous user -

Hello,

I would like to know if it is possible (and if so, how) to manually select the language with which to launch a non-Unicode program?

Currently, to change the language, I have to go to the Control Panel, then Regional and Language Options, Advanced Options tab, and choose the language I want from the Language for non-Unicode programs list.
After that, the computer has to restart to apply the changes.

It is quite annoying to have to restart the computer every time I change programs...

Is there a way to manually launch a program in a defined character encoding (in a given language)?
Via a command line or another method?

Hoping for a positive response to end my constant restarts to switch between two languages...
See you soon

    I think we need to modify a registry key:

    List of Windows language codes

    To know the language of Windows:
    Check the value in the registry:
    HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\NLS\Language\InstallLanguage
    To find it in DOS:
    REG QUERY HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\
    Control\NLS\Language /v InstallLanguage

    Hello,

    I'm picking up the thread because I'm having exactly the same issue.
    I tried to resolve it with the import of the .reg file below.
    The command in a cmd is as follows: %SystemRoot%\system32\reg import file.reg

    The problem is that it doesn't seem to be working.
    Did I forget something?
    Thanks for your feedback
