How to change locale in a Windows terminal?

[Weijun Wang]

Hi Kris

Yes, it works, with -Duser.language.

Unfortunately, I am looking for a way to change the default/initial 
locale, and then using these system properties to change the effective 
locale again. :-)

Precisely, there is a test using grep to match warning messages and on a 
Chinese Windows it cannot find the hardcoded English text. Since I only 
have Windows in English, I need to a way to mimic a Chinese Windows 
first, and then see if adding -Duser.language=en -Duser.country=US to 
the test will make it work again.

On a Mac it's much easier.

Thanks
Max
