For some unknown sorcery Microsoft does not refer to 'Locale' the same as UNIX. There is only a display-characters method, only if a character set is not unicode. For actual display of language they have now on 7 a package downloading mechanism to have the whole system show a language.

On 7 right now I have locale on Greek so that any non-unicode programs will work with that. But the display language is English and no Greek or other non-English package has been installed. The location is also Greece but that doesn't affect other programs either.

In general these settings make almost all programs to display English by default. Only a minority like git-gui don't.
