So, go into your regional and language options > languages tab > supplemental language support in the control panel and tick both boxes to install support for "asian languages" (you will need your OS cd), it should be ok then.
I know this is needed to read asian characters.. but i don’t know if it still will burn them correctly.
I am sorry I didnt get into the details of AppLocale but I am sure you can google about it. Hope this helps.
