I am newbie to mfc, and I got struck over how to get the current operating system language (Ex: If it is English operating system I must get it as English and locale can be different. For English OS locale can be Japanese vice versa).
Current locale I am getting it through GetSystemDefaultLangID and the only thing I was left with is I need to get the current operating system language.
Can anyone kindly help me to resolve this issue.
Perhaps you need GetUserDefaultUILanguage. The system's settings and user settings may not be the same.
User Interface Language Management
int wmain()
{
wcout << "GetUserDefaultUILanguage: " << GetUserDefaultUILanguage() << "\n";
wcout << "GetSystemDefaultUILanguage: " << GetSystemDefaultUILanguage() << "\n";
wcout << "\n";
wcout << "GetUserDefaultLangID: " << GetUserDefaultLangID() << "\n";
wcout << "GetSystemDefaultLangID: " << GetSystemDefaultLangID() << "\n";
wcout << "\n";
wcout << "GetUserDefaultLCID: " << GetUserDefaultLCID() << "\n";
wcout << "GetSystemDefaultLCID: " << GetSystemDefaultLCID() << "\n";
wcout << "\n";
wchar_t buf[100];
LCID lcid = GetUserDefaultLCID();
cout << "GetUserDefaultLCID: " << "\n";
if (GetLocaleInfo(lcid, LOCALE_ILANGUAGE, buf, 100)) wcout << buf << "\n";
if (GetLocaleInfo(lcid, LOCALE_SENGLANGUAGE, buf, 100)) wcout << buf << "\n";
if (GetLocaleInfo(lcid, LOCALE_SISO639LANGNAME, buf, 100)) wcout << buf << "\n";
return 0;
}
