Bad language error

Hi all,

I'm trying to get playonmac to work on my system.
When I try to run it, I get the following error:

playonmac cannot run because of bad language settings
on you computer.

To solve the problem, open a terminal and type:

"defaults write -g AppleLocale en_US"

Now, I don't like writing commands into the terminal
unless I know exactly what they do. Can someone pls 
tell me what this does, and how to undo it if I want to.
(I think im using UK english, so would that be -> en_UK?).

Before posting, I did try to figure out what the command
did. To get an idea of what my current default was, I typed:

"defaults read -g AppleLocale"

and got:

"The domain/default pair of (kCFPreferencesAnyApplication, AppleLocale) does not exist"

I don't think this is normal right?

Please help, thanks.

This command sets the variable that does not exist. Put UK if you prefer ;-)
