Teststand 2021 code page at engine launch: single-byte

I am trying to get a Chinese localization pack to work in teststand,

"the code page at engine launch: single-byte" line on the station options tab tells me that it should be possible to start the teststand engine with a different code page at engine start

what setting / config is this looking for?
how can I get Chinese characters to show up on the sequence editor screen?

I dont need to do any string manipulation in Chinese, I Just want to be able to put Chinese characters in comments for each sequence step.

TestStand uses the code page set in Windows. As far as I know, if you start TestStand on a Chinese OS, you will see "Code Page at Engine Launch: multi-byte" in Station Options > Localization. To properly handle Chinese characters in TestStand, you probably need to change the code page in Windows. Look for the "Change System Locale" option in the Windows Control Panel. This article may be relevant: https://knowledge.ni.com/KnowledgeArticleDetails?id=kA03q000001DrabCAC&l=pl-PL, and it mentions the GB2312 encoding method. These are my guesses.
