Device and Application Information

  • OS Build: Any Windows (screenshots from Windows 10 Pro)
  • Architecture: any arcitect\ure
  • Application Version: 11.2409.0.0
  • Region: ja-JP ( but can be any non English)
  • Dev Version Installed: -

Additional context
In the world, there are about 37 spoken languages. Due to globalization, native speakers can live in countries with different languages.
That creates a situation when people can use 2 or 3 or even more languages with a different level of knowledge.
Due to regional restrictions or non-UTF legacy, it is often safer to have correctly set regional settings in a Windows system.
For example, lining in Japan, but not be a tourist, it is better to have a region set to Japan.
It is good that Microsoft allows the use of a display language that is different from the region.
That creates a situation when a system has Japanese region, English (US) as a display language.
