I currently use WinRAR, and most of the times I have to change language settings and restart my computer, are just so I can open a japanese-filename archive that WinRAR insists is LOL FUBAR'D. This annoyeth me. So is there a good free archiver that handles both English and Japanese at the same time?
There's little fixing to this unless the program is run with a different locale (you can do this with some M$ tool in Windows XP and 2003), or the program manually supports different locales. This is what happens when software uses shitty 8 bit locales to create file names. Our European files will be broken in Japanese systems and Japanese files will be broken in our systems.
Al Gore invented Unicode to solve this, but nobody seems to notice.

This causes problems unto itself, mostly when a program expects a slash "\" instead of a yen symbol "￥"

Using the Yen symbol as directory separator is the stupidest and ugliest thing ever. You shouldn't have problems with it though, as Unicode supports both backslash and Yen symbol in the right place and you are expected to use backslash which is already retarded but oh well. Oh, and most of Win32 will accept slashes too.
