Here is a a bit of a hack that might do it. I believe these settings are configured on a per users basis so I'm guessing you could:

  • create a new user
  • log in as that user
  • setup the required settings for the app
  • log out and back in as your normal user
  • run the program as the newly created user (you can do this by holding shift then right clicking the exe and chosing "run as")

There's an open-source alternative to Microsoft AppLocale that is claimed to work up to windows 10, available on GitHub:

https://github.com/xupefei/Locale-Emulator

Its allows per-app locale settings, accessible via a context menu option.
