Unzip files from compressed ZIP archives with Chinese or Japanese file names under non-Chinese / non-Japanese Windows XP UPDATE
There has been an update on the 7 zip software. As stated on the website:
7-Zip 4.58 beta 2008-05-05
# Speed optimizations
# Unicode support for .ZIP acrhives
Beta versions of 7-Zip v. 4.58 and newer support Unicode characters.
I have tried the current beta version 4.60 beta on MS Windows XP Pro German and it worked fine with a ZIP archive including Traditional Chinese file names.
Why don't you give it a try? It is much easier than using the AppLocale workaround, if this works for you.
