LangID = SYS: 0x809, USR: 0x809 [en_GB]
LCID = SYS: 0x809, USR: 0x809 [en_GB]
GetUserDefaultUILanguage() = 0409 [en]
GetSystemDefaultUILanguage = 0409 [en]
Actually, the [en], which came from
http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/reference/win2k/setup/Langid.mspx is
incorrect.
These values are actually [en_US]. Nothing in my OS settings specifies
US English. So these values are just plain wrong.
It appears that these last two API functions report the localization
package used by the Windows UI itself, which is distinct from the user's
preferences for language settings they make in the control panel.
Yep, looks like that. I guess those values are set when you answer
the question you are asked during Windows installation: whether you
want the Windows menus and dialogs in English or in your locale's
language. If I'm right, these values can be changed only by
re-installing Windows.
Re-installing Windows or using their Multilingual package.
On my XP pc I found I can change LanID and LCID for USR above. I do that
in the
Control Panel
Regional and Language Options
Region Options tab
Standards and formats
Everything there is about things like date, currence etc. There is
nothing about spoken/written language there.
If we where to use the language for menus etc in Emacs I guess everyone
would agree that we would use GetUserDefaultUILanguage, or? Is there any
reason we should not do the same for the tutorial?
