From dlls/kernel/locale.c
if (GetEnvironmentVariableA( "LC_ALL", buf, sizeof(buf) ) ||
GetEnvironmentVariableA( "*LC_CTYPE*", buf, sizeof(buf) ) ||
GetEnvironmentVariableA( "LANGUAGE", buf, sizeof(buf) ) ||
GetEnvironmentVariableA( "LC_MESSAGES", buf, sizeof(buf) ) ||

Hi list,
I'm trying to understand the above line of code. It would appear to me
that default_lcid is used for "find resource". The manual for locale says:
LC_CTYPE
This changes the behaviour of the character handling and
classi-
fication functions, such as isupper() and toupper(),
and the
multi-byte character functions such as mblen() or wctomb().
Specifically, I'm looking into setting LC_CTYPE to "he_IL" so I can type
Hebrew characters, while setting "LC_MESSAGE" to "C" so the messages
programs issue are in English (or whatever their local setting says). It
seems to me we may want to support independant settings of the two.
I realize that there are places where we may want to use the information
from LC_CTYPE (WideCharToMultiByte comes to mine), but I believe that we
should use a different setting for that so we can allow Unix users
independant control over both settings.
Thoughts?
