Considering many ransomwares with operators based in eastern Europe deliberately don't infect systems with eastern European languages enabled (recent example is LockBit having a don't-touch list of 13 languages), is it a wise precaution to add Russian and Chinese as second and third preferred languages on your machine? Or do such malicious language checkers look for something like a default system language that you can't really modify?
