I don't know how to change the Windows language to Russian, but I do
under Linux. So I did the following. I changed my Linux systems locale
for an application to Russian. I had Russian translations of fpGUI
Toolkit so used those. I copied the rsCancel resourcestring value (in
Russian) to a Edit component. Copied that to clipboard, used the File
Open dialog to 'create directory' and pasted the Russian word for
Cancel in their.  Now I had a Russian directory on the hard drive.  I
quit the program, changed back to English locale. Loaded the program,
and it displayed the Russian directory correctly.

PS:
 Even Linux's terminal didn't display the russian directory correcty.
A whole bunch of '?????????' instead. fpGUI worked fine! ;-)

See attached screenshot. Application using English locale
(en_ZA.UTF-8) as can be seen by the grid headers and displaying a
Russian directory name.
