Without knowing exactly what you're doing, I think you may not need
the
bitAND portion of the code. If you're using the MS provided tables of
locales and/or languages, you only need to get either decimal or
hex values.
In the localized projects I've worked on (sometimes 15 languages),
this was
all that was needed to determine language and locale of a system.
The Locale registry key returns the language identifier. Since a
language code is a combination of a primary language identifier and a
sublanguage you have multiple entries for English, French, Chinese,
etc. For example there are language identifiers for the following
entries for English:
English (United States)
English (United Kingdom)
English (Australian)
English (Canadian)
English (New Zealand)
English (Ireland)
English (South Africa)
English (Jamaica)
English (Caribbean)
English (Belize)
English (Trinidad)
By using the bitAND operation I am extracting just the primary
language identifier from the language identifer for which there is
only one entry for each language. Since I am loading an english,
french, spanish, etc. stack with all of the translated strings this
is exactly the information I want. I just check the primary language
and load the appropriate stack file. If I didn't use bitAND then I
would have to check that the language identifier was one of the 11
different possible values for English. Does this make sense?
