Description
Microsoft AppLocale is an essential tool for users looking to run legacy applications on modern operating systems without the hassle of altering the language settings of non-Unicode applications. Developed by Microsoft, the latest version, 1.3.3.31, effectively bridges the gap created by non-Unicode applications running on the Unicode (UTF-16) based Windows XP. With AppLocale's ability to detect the language of legacy applications and simulate a corresponding system locale, it ensures seamless code-page to/from Unicode conversions.
Key file names for this program include AppLoc.exe, _294823.exe, AEMANAGR.EXE, Uimetool.exe, and superedit.exe. The program falls under the System Utilities category and is categorized as Freeware, meaning users can download it at no cost. Designed to support a wide range of Windows operating systems, Microsoft AppLocale is compatible with Windows 2000, XP, XP Professional, Vista, 7, 8, 10, and 11.
For those seeking "Microsoft AppLocale Revision," which is another alias for this tool, earlier versions such as 1.3, and 1.0 are still available. Being a free solution that aids in running non-Unicode applications seamlessly, AppLocale remains a valuable utility for many users.
Pros:
