It will cause unnecessary confusion. Well, you can always use "ja_JP.SJIS". As for the default charset, now that we get extended NLS support, there are packages out there which have messages files for ja_JP encoded in eucJP. These are not shown correctly if SJIS is the default. And eventually you should use "ja_JP.UTF-8" anyway. > There is no difference between SJIS and eucJP on Cygwin command > line for the sake of the implementation of i18n API.

The difference is the character encoding which is compatible with other POSIX systems in the "ja_JP" locale when eucJP is the default.
