There is no place where the "locale language" is stored as such. It is by the way of specific dlls that languages are "changed", particularly via MIRESnnn.dll
The trick with that solution is to find the proper string that will identify the language univocally. The example of the "message" window is to the point: "message" cannot distinguish between French and English, but it can be sufficient for "detecting" German. I had started some "collective" search on the subject long time ago. But my archives are locked on my regular machine that has been on the blink for few days now. Anyone interested on the subject will have to wait few more days for my findings, but can already be �recognized".
