The problem: I need to surf to a website that is in Traditional Chinese and when I open it. Hoola~

The reason: Computer is not set to read non-Unicode language like Traditional Chinese. You can view yours at Control Panel > Regional and Language Options > Advance > Language for non-Unicode Programs

The solution: There are number of solutions in actual facts but let’s stick to 2 simple ones.

1. You may change the language you desire right on that setting page BUT doing so may jeopadize the stability of other programs that are not running on the language that you are going to apply.
2. Better way, install Microsoft Applocale Utility. (Hint: You need to validate your Windows to download the app, if you are having trouble doing so, you may just Google (okay, of you can Bing for it too now) for other download link without going through any validation).

I’m going to talk about Applocale. It’s a free piece of software released by Microsoft for free. It’s intention is to make problematic programs to run temporary. But nevertheless, we can make use of this program to make our lives simply, easier.

Just install it, choose the program that you intend to run and of course the language you want it to run on, and that’s it basically. It is really that simple. And going back to the same page again we will now see…
