How to change locale in a Windows terminal?

[Naoto Sato]

Hi Max,

Java's default locale follows the default UI Language on Windows. So 
your Windows has to have Chinese UI package installed and selected as 
the default UI language. I don't have Windows 10 at hand, but Windows 
used to be capable of downloading/installing UI language packs on 
certain flavor of their Windows variations.
