  1. Japanese Character in Zip/RAR/7zip/etc. display as garbled, can we get a fix?


    I already read this discussion, which is locked, and have the same issue: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/japanese-characters-in-ziprar7z-etc-files-appear/504e5bd7-2349-4041-9023-5ec66000ceaa?auth=1


    Changing system locale is not an option. I already have Japanese languages installed. I can use bandizip's code page system, but sometimes some files won't extract properly even with that. I know there used to be a hotfix for Windows 7 for this issue, but there doesn't seem to be one for Windows 10.

    :)

  2. 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 =/
