------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon Apr 25 04:32:28 -0700 2005 ------- On Windows there are two independent locales: - the user locale (in XP, set on the "Regional Options" tab of "Regional and Language Settings"); this is per-user - the system locale (in XP, set in the "Language for non-Unicode programs" box on the "Advanced" tab of "Regional and Language Settings"); this is system wide not per-user The other relevant bit of data on the system is which of the 17 language groups have been installed. There's an API to check this (IsValidLanguageGroup). This is controlled by the "Supplemental language support" box on the "Languages" tab of "Regional and Language Settings". XP combines the language groups into 3 language collections: basic, east asian, and complex script. OOo currently appears to use the user locale to determine whether to enable the CTL support. Unfortunately this doesn't work very well, because it's very common for machines in Thailand for the user locale to be US (at least from my not very representative survey). Thai users are often quite happy running with a US user locale: it doesn't bother them enough that they want to change it. However, all users who want to type Thai will have the Thai language group installed. They will also almost always have Thai as their system locale: the main reason for this is that there's an undocumented Windows feature that making Thai the system locale enables the use of grave accent to switch input languages; this was the default behaviour of Thai Windows 95/98/Me, and is generally much preferred to Alt/Ctrl+Shift. I would suggest enabling CTL support if any complex script language groups are installed. For the default CTL languages, I would suggest trying first the user locale and then the system locale and using whichever is a complex script language. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
