Windows Vista 引入了三种伪区域设置的概念：
Pseudo Locale Locale Name LCID
=================== =========== ======
Base qps-ploc 0x0501
Mirrored qps-mirr 0x09ff
East Asian-language qps-asia 0x05fe
启用基本区域设置非常有用，因为您可以检查应用程序是否正在使用当前区域设置来格式化日期、时间、数字、金钱等项目。
例如，当当前区域设置设置为Base时，日期将被格式化为：
[Шěđлеśđαỳ !!!], 2006 年第 8 期 [Maŕςћ !!]
构建 Windows其实都是用pseudo来做的，然后本地化成英文：
伪本地化
为了防止常见的全球化错误，创建了伪本地化版本。伪本地化是用人工语言创建本地化产品的过程。该语言与英语相同，只是每个字符都是用视觉上与英语字符相似的不同字符书写的。除了完全由机器生成之外，我们创建伪本地化构建的方式与创建本地化构建的方式完全相同。因为即使是单一语言的美国软件开发人员也可以阅读伪本地化文本，因此它已被证明是在开发周期早期发现全球化问题的绝佳方法。在 Windows 7 Beta 中，一些 UI 元素仍处于伪本地化形式，从而引发了一些关于其含义的有趣理论。我们希望通过这篇博文能够解开这个谜团。 :-)

另一个值在使用这些区域设置时：它测试您的应用程序不假设 16 位 PRIMARYLANGID 由以下部分组成：
当 实际上 PRIMARYLANGID 是：
- 一个 10 位主ID语言 id
- 是 6 位子语言 id
或以图形方式：
+-----------------------+-------------------------+
| Sublanguage ID | Primary Language ID |
+-----------------------+-------------------------+
15 10 9 0 bit
这三个伪语言环境最终从第 8 位末尾消失（微软已经厌倦了这样做来破坏有缺陷的应用程序）。

Windows Vista introduced the concept of three pseudo-locales:
Pseudo Locale Locale Name LCID
=================== =========== ======
Base qps-ploc 0x0501
Mirrored qps-mirr 0x09ff
East Asian-language qps-asia 0x05fe
Enabling the Base locale is useful, because you can check that your application is using the current locale for formatting of items such as dates, times, numbers, money.
For example when the current locale is set to Base, a date will be formatted as:
[Шěđлеśđαỳ !!!], 8 ōf [Μäŕςћ !!] ōf 2006
Builds of Windows are actually done in pseudo, and then localized into english:
Pseudo-Localization
To prevent common globalization bugs, pseudo-localized builds were created. Pseudo-localization is a process that creates a localized product in an artificial language. That language is identical to English except that each character is written with a different character that visually resembles the English character. Except for being entirely machine generated, we create the pseudo-localized builds exactly the same way as we create the localized builds. Because even monolingual US software developers can read pseudo-localized text, it has proven to be an excellent way to find globalization problems early in the development cycle. In the Windows 7 beta, some UI elements were still in their pseudo-localized form, causing some interesting theories about what the meaning might be. We hope we have solved the mystery with this blog post. :-)

Another value in the use of these locale's: it tests that your application doesn't assume that a 16-bit PRIMARYLANGID is made up of an:
- 8-bit primary language id
- 8-bit sublanguage id
when in reality a PRIMARYLANGID is:
- a 10-bit primary language id
- a 6-bit sublanguage id
or graphically:
+-----------------------+-------------------------+
| Sublanguage ID | Primary Language ID |
+-----------------------+-------------------------+
15 10 9 0 bit
These three pseudo-locale's finally walk off the end of the 8th bit (something that Microsoft has been weary of doing for breaking buggy applications).

Initially the four pseudo-locale's are not visible in the Control Panel: (archive.org)
You enable them by adding some registry keys:
Which can be done in RegEdit:
Then you can go to Regional and Language Options in the Control Panel:
and select the pseudo-locale:
The three different pseudo-locale are for testing 3 kinds of locales:
Base The
qps-ploclocale is used for English-like pseudo localizations. Its strings are longer versions of English strings, using non-Latin and accented characters instead of the normal script. Additionally simple Latin strings should sort in reverse order with this locale.Mirrored
qpa-mirris used for right-to-left pseudo data, which is another area of interest for testing.East Asian
qps-asiais intended to utilize the large CJK character repertoire, which is also useful for testing.Warning: Do not try to change the "System Locale":
to a new pseudo-locale:
Otherwise after the reboot:
Windows will fail to start:
And the only fix will be to manually edit the registry from the Recovery Console; restoring the old
en-USlocale.Warning
Use of pseudo-locales is used to find localization bugs in software. Unfortunately this will also let you find bugs in other people's software; including Microsoft's:
SQL Server Management Studio1 crashes when presented with other locales (Microsoft Connect):
Microsoft Excel will no longer let you enter functions (the comma used to separate parameters no longer works)
Visual Studio will no longer let you edit comma separated properties
The SQL Server Management Studio diagram designer reports an error

您还可以更改 Internet Explorer 的
Accept-Languages以请求qps-ploc语言：您可以使用它来测试您的网站是否支持 psuedo-locale，并检查任何缺少的本地化：
您可以看到我在其中遗漏了两段文字示例网站。
You can also change Internet Explorer's
Accept-Languagesto requestqps-ploclanguage:You can use this to test that your web-site supports psuedo-locale, and check any missing localizations:
You can see i missed two bits of text in this sample web-site.
看起来，微软并没有修复 .NET、SQL Server、Excel 等中的本地化错误，而是更改了 Windows 10 中的伪区域设置来掩盖这些错误：
LOCALE_SLANGUAGELOCALE_SENGLANGUAGELOCALE_SDECIMALLOCALE_SCURRENCYLOCALE_SMONDECIMALSEPLOCALE_SDATELOCALE_STIMELOCALE_SSHORTDATELOCALE_STIMEFORMATLOCALE_ITIMELOCALE_ICENTURYLOCALE_SNEGATIVESIGN我可以理解不想修复你的错误，因为你很懒，这太难了。但你应该被迫让所有人都看到你的耻辱。
相反，你会逃避并试图掩盖你的失败。那太糟糕了。
It looks like rather than fixing the localization bugs in .NET, SQL Server, Excel, etc, Microsoft changed the Pseudo locale in Windows 10 to mask the bugs:
LOCALE_SLANGUAGELOCALE_SENGLANGUAGELOCALE_SDECIMALLOCALE_SCURRENCYLOCALE_SMONDECIMALSEPLOCALE_SDATELOCALE_STIMELOCALE_SSHORTDATELOCALE_STIMEFORMATLOCALE_ITIMELOCALE_ICENTURYLOCALE_SNEGATIVESIGNI can understand not wanting to fix your bugs, because you're lazy it's too hard. But you should have been forced to wear your shame for all to see.
Instead you cop-out and try to hide your failure. That's just bad.
