Overtime	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.

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