My region is Russian, so maybe it tries to show dates in native language, but it looks wrong.

Is your Windows in Russian, or is a English version? What matters is the OS language, not the regional settings.

It's an English version

It looks wrong because there is a problem with UTF-8 characters. I have the same problem in my own language...

With this version of APUP, it gives us more tools to investigate these errors which before we couldn't.

APUP is detecting your system as English (1033) Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3 Is this detection correct and you have your default language and unicode default set to Russian?

Oh nevermind. I just read the comment that Renato mentioned above which I didnt' know that this is how the script displays non-anci characters. This is something that is currenlty being worked on.

Though I am still interestered if your system is being detected correctly or if it should in fact be Russian (1049)

Erik, I'm pretty sure that wroot's system is being detected correctly.

This will be an English (LCID=0409/1033) system with Locale set to Russian (LCID=0419/1049)

But this is a completely different language problem to the other one we have, because Russian is classified in the "Basic" language group by Microsoft.

It's also a problem with the dates shown on-screen only, because the date in the log-file is correct Russian

Log-file above has: 10-сен-2008 which is correct, since сен (SEN) is short for Сентябрь (SENTYABR) which is September in English.

The screenshot, posted last November, however shows Greek characters, but it is not in Greek. Two of the characters are non-Greek. And the Greek characters do not say anything in Greek - they are (I think) random characters.

Last November, Greek would have been something like: Νοεμ (NOEM) for November, but it isn't.

It would be helpful to me if you could post another screen-shot showing what the dates look like today, using APUP 1.05.

As James said, my version is correctly detected and it is English. I have current locale set as Russian.

Thank you for posting the new screen-shot.

Those may be Greek characters, but the dates are definitely not in Greek.

For example, for the updater, it should not be "Ρεν", (REN) it should be "Σεπ" (SEP).
