Would you consider keying translations by the string representation of the locale name rather than the numeric locale ID? This will allow more intelligent fallback behaviour. Currently if I ship a .wxl file in the 1031 directory (de-DE) then a user with a UI language setting of 3079 (de-AT) will not see the German strings, even though they are closer to the user's preferred language than the default strings. <http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd374098 (v=vs.85).aspx> describes the UI language fallback behaviour in Vista and later. Emulating this on earlier Windows versions (that lack LOCALE_SPARENT info for a locale) seems straightforward enough: just chop off the hyphen and anything that follows. -- Regards, Sam Morris ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ridiculously easy VDI.
