+# LOCALE
+This version of ShellCheck is only available in English. All files are
+leniently decoded as UTF-8, with a fallback of ISO-8859-1 for invalid
+sequences. `LC_CTYPE` is respected for output, and defaults to UTF-8 for
+locales where encoding is unspecified (such as the `C` locale).
+
+Windows users seeing `commitBuffer: invalid argument (invalid character)`
+should set their terminal to use UTF-8 with `chcp 65001`.
