I had a problem with slic3r for prusa mk2. I recently downgraded my windows 10 to windows 7 for a unrelated issue. Because i live in taiwan they installed a chinese version and changed the language to english after. That means in the background its still running chinese here and there i guess (while windows 10 is probably complete language package, just guessing here).

Now suddenly the program was unable to open after installation. Did not even give a error message or anything.
My collegue from the IT department spend some time going through the code trying to find the solution. He found it has to do with the language settings of the operation system and he modified some things to make the program work. I want to share the modifications with you so next update of the software also our asian makers can use the program.

C:\Program Files\Prusa3D\Slic3rPE\lib\Encode\locale.pm
he modified line 121 and line 122 of the code (see attached to email)

C:\Program Files\Prusa3D\Slic3rPE\lib\Slic3r.pm
he modified line 309,310,319,320,326 (see attached file to email

I'm not a IT guy, so i cannot judge if these are the correct adjustments other than my program seems to open now. So please make the modifications if possible so also asian (or more specifically taiwanese since they use traditional chinese, not simplified chinese like in china) can use the program.

There seems to be locale definitions in the Windows binary package.

This will hopefully be fixed in the upcoming binary releases.
