How do I change my computer to Japanese Encoding?

If you use Windows 10:
1. Go to the Control Panel
2. Click on Region
3. Click on the Administrative tab
4. Click on Change System Locale
5. Select Japanese (Japan) from the drop-down

If you use Windows 8:
1. Go to the Control Panel
2. Click on Clock, Language and Region then Region
3. Click on the Administrative tab
4. Click on Change System Locale
5. Select Japan (Japanese) from the drop-down

If you use Windows 7:
1. Go to the Control Panel
2. Click on Clock, Language and Regions
3. Click the Administrative tab and under “Language for Non-Unicode Programs", hit the Change System Locale button then select Japanese from the drop-down menu.
4. Click OK. You should be prompted to Restart your computer once done.

If you use Windows XP, you’ll need the operating system CD:
1. Go to the Control Panel
2. Click on Regional and Language Options
3. Click the Advanced tab and under the “Language for non-Unicode Programs", select Japanese from the drop-down menu.
5. Click OK. You’ll get a prompt asking whether to use existing files or to install from your OS CD. If this is your first time doing this you probably don’t already have the files so you’ll need to install them. From there just follow the instructions on the screen.
