Caveat: Language Identity Ambiguity Syndrome

I was installing some Java add-on on my computer and walked through a series of text/approval windows that appeared like the one below.

Obviously, Java needs to work out some language-compatibility issues. This isn’t that uncommon with software in Korea – but it seems to arise mostly in the context of computers with “language-identity ambiguity syndrome” (LIAS), where user selected some strange middle ground between only-Korean and only-English (or some other language). Such as my computer.

Meanwhile, I wonder if the Java add-on will work?  I have no idea – I just kind of clicked the most likely buttons, based on experience with other such install windows. Who knows?
