New subject: [tools 2/2] testbot/SetWinLocale: Windows may use an alternate display language.

2 Feb 2022

Unicode-only locales, such as Hindi (India), can only be used as a
system locale if activating Windows 10's beta support for the UTF-8
code page.
In such cases the Powershell's Set-WinSystemLocale API automatically
and unconditionally sets the ACP&co code pages to UTF-8. In contrast
intl.cpl has no support for UTF-8 (or for explicitly modifying the
code pages) and refuses to use a Unicode-only system locale.
So to keep a consistent SetWinLocale behavior, reset the system locale to
en-US if it requires UTF-8 support and the --utf8 option was not
specified.

Also note that UTF-8 is only supported on Windows 10+ and that forcing
UTF-8 through the registry makes Windows unbootable.

Interestingly even English locales can be Unicode-only: see en-AE.
