Device and Application Information

Additional context In the world, there are about 37 spoken languages. Due to globalization, native speakers can live in countries with different languages. That creates a situation when people can use 2 or 3 or even more languages with a different level of knowledge. Due to regional restrictions or non-UTF legacy, it is often safer to have correctly set regional settings in a Windows system. For example, lining in Japan, but not be a tourist, it is better to have a region set to Japan. It is good that Microsoft allows the use of a display language that is different from the region. That creates a situation when a system has Japanese region, English (US) as a display language.
