    Japanese Characters in .ZIP/RAR/7Z etc files appear garbles, extract garbled

    Hello. I am having trouble with file names in Japanese especially those in zip files or rar files.

    I download and use a lot of Japanese programs and software as I do a lot of translation work. However, the programs and files from some Japanese sources appear as garbled text which makes programs and games not function correctly after unzipping.

    Now, my locale is set to Japanese. In fact, everything is set to Japanese with the exception of the display language for system messages etc which windows won't let me change for.... reasons.

    I used to get around this problem with an app called Locale Emulator, however, for some reason that progam has ceased to function on 7Zip and I can no longer get around this issue. I am looking for an official solution if possible.

    It's the same with any zip program be it WinRAR, 7Zip, etc.

    Update: I've even changed my local computer language to Japanese and it *STILL* cannot apparently fix this problem =/

    Folders with zip files

    I have like 30 or more folders and everyone of them has only one single zip file.
    How can I extract all zip files inside of all folders?
