You saying this does not make it valid.  How are you going to order
pizza by phone if you do not know what language the operator speaks?

I know very little about Win*.  However, on DOSISH systems, all that
codepages govern is 8bit-codepoint-to-character translations (and
back) (here by "character" I mean something similar to Unicode
codepoint).  Locales govern many other things too.

Hope this helps,
