Title: stumbled onto a nice little regedit for AppLocale
Post by: shades_of_blue on Jan. 27, 2007, 11:28:19 AM

Just like the headers says, I was browsing the net today and found a regedit which adds a applocale shortcut [for Japanese] to exe files, when 2nd mouse buttoned. Anyway, figured someone might want this little goodie for Japanese running games without all the hassle of loading applocale first.

Thanks for the link, I didn't knew this.
However... I must have done something wrong cause I can't get it to work :P
I installed the .reg, then applied the AppLocale patch (to avoid the annoying message), rebooted, and everytime I choose Locale Japanese from the context menu, a dialog box appears and says the specified route does not exist. Anyone knows how to get this to work? The page doesn't go into much detail.

By the way, you guys should know that Applocale doesn't work everytime.
Rebooting with japanese regional settings does.
It's important especially with programs that deals with files written with japanese characters.
And you don't have to install Applocale if you just reboot with japanese regional settings.

Yes, I know that. However, If I use AppLocale the normal way it works just fine. The thing is, using the context menu shortcut, it doesn't. So I guess it must be some problem with my installation. Which is weird, since basically I only had to apply the regedit, lol.

Wish I had an answer for you, as it works great for me. Used the install and removal files, then reinstalled it again. No problems here. You do have the proper language packs installed, right?

Yep. Well, doesn't matter. It's just a neat shortcut I'm missing, not much, lol.
But I'll still give it a try at my laptop when I have the chance.
