I'm using English version of Vista and having problems with using programs that display Russian characters somewhere. For example dictionaries doesn't work for me, since they display Russian character. Also I see just "magic" characters in text editor (notepad) when open a Russian text file. I tried to change whole Vista Interface language to Russian, but it still didn't solve the problem.
I CAN read any web page from browser, that's not a problem. Also adding "Russian" in "Text Services and Input Languages" doesn't solve this problem.
Does anyone know how to solve this?
Thanks.
My System: 32-bit Windows Vista Home Premium - SP2
After spending whole day on this issue I was finally able to solve it.
I just needed to change language for non-Unicode applications to Russian. I never knew about this property :). I hope my answer will be helpful to someone.

I bought a new mac computer and I installed matlab 2014a on it. The problem I'm quite experiencing is weird and I couldn't find a way to fix this so far. I searched for the whole day yesterday and part of this morning, with no lucky.
I have a folder called Università and matlab has problem with the accent on it.
>> disp('Università');
Universit�
>> feature('DefaultCharacterSet')
ans =
UTF-8
I put feature('DefaultCharacterSet','UTF8') on my startup.m, but the only thing changed in the result there.
I read many people had this problem, but I'm not as lucky as them.
Any suggestion will be appreciated.
Cheers
Just solved a similar problem. You might want to change your OS X default language and restart Matlab. Just go to System Preferences - Language & Region - Advanced, and then change the Format Language to your language where these characters are used, and restart Matlab. This got at least umlaut characters working for me. Good luck!

Since a few weeks whenever some app needs our password our needs our permission for something, it no longer displays it as understandable language, but with weird characters. How can we fix this?
It is probably a problem with your language for some inputs / options.
Look at this documentation about how to change your language for specific options:

Depending on which version of OSX you are running, you might want to try Font Book (in the Applications folder) and specifically search for Look for Enabled Duplicates. Sometimes having duplicate or misnamed fonts can cause rendering problems like this.
There are other utilities as well, such as Font Doctor that can do similar (and more extensive) searches.
I have no idea which of the SE sites to ask this on (there's no windows SE site like there is on linux;) so I'll try this one.
I tried installing inconsolata to use as my default programming font. The problem is, it looks either messed up or is complete gibberish. I'm using windows 7 Home Premium if that helps.
I've included some screenshots so you can see for yourself. The first is of jsfiddle (which uses inconsolata) and the second is netbeans with the same code as the jsfiddle one:
Does anyone have any experience with this? Is there a fix for this problem?
I also just noticed that the font isn't even showing up on windows list of fonts
The only thing I can think to suggest is to increase the size of the font and see if it renders a little better that way.
I've used Inconsolata on both Windows 7 and 8 (RP), and it seems to work fine in my experience. I've also used it with my own software, without problems. I'm not entirely sure why this is happening for you.
What reasons to use localized version of Visual Studio 2010? What problems / benefits can you list while using localized versions? Are localized versions really useful?
I can only see problems and very few benefits. Any problems you are likely to experience you will will get them in language other then English, which means searching how to resolve problem in that language is limited on start. Although it may be not directly related but I've been managing servers in polish language for a long time and man I was so many times wishing the errors by polish system was in English. Finding resolution to problems in English is 50x easier then in my native tongue. If you even try to translate error message yourself you will have to be very careful because one translation isn't equal to another, especially when it comes to Microsoft programs (although not only). Many times error in my language given by SharePoint or Windows is so meaningless that you don't even know where to start looking for answers and if you see that error in English you just do "Oh.. it's about this.. simple stuff. Lets fix it".
Back to development.. Visual Studio in English gives you no problems to develop programs for any language you want. And most likely any addons will be in English so you will have mixed environment at some point having one Menu in English and other one in German. Also asking for help and following some tutorials/tips etc will be far easier in English so you won't have to translate stuff On-The-Fly yourself but will just follow the steps.
I use Visual Studio 2008 and it really makes me crazy how it shows error messages (in Error List window, Output window - especially exceptions) partially in English and partially in my native language. Interestingly, it is worse in WPF than in WinForms project. I've read here that it is about Culture of the running thread (so that the problem is in a settings for .NET).
Why am I solving it? It's simple because if I run into an error message and I don't know what it exactly mean or how to fix the problem then trying to google the problem in any other language than in English is very problematic. For example, it would be useful to set English for debugging purposes.
How to solve the problem?
Thanks for any suggestion!
Have you checked what your VS language settings are & compiler messages are controlled by your OS language settings & what language packs you have installed for the .Net framework...
See this link for some more information.
