You cannot easily change the locale of a Windows system by specifying
some environment variable. You need to actually switch it
system-wide. As long as we use ANSI APIs on Windows, we can only
support a single Windows locale, and that locale must be the current
user's locale.

You can't, sorry.

It cannot work in any other way with ANSI APIs.
