------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon Apr 25 06:06:14 -0700 2005 ------- I think it's a bad idea to try to determine the document language from the UI language. At least in Thailand, there are lots of users who like to have the UI in English, but still want a default CTL document language of Thai. Note that 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 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. 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. To determine the default CTL language I would suggest the following algorithm: - get the user locale; if it's a complex script language, use that; otherwise - get the system locale; if it's a complex script language, use that. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
