Languages in Windows
I have application with resources in two languages. Under WinNT it works and the language of running application depends on regional settings. But under Win2000 it depends primary on OS language and not on regional settings. Why? How to do it?
for example:
A...first lang., B...second lang. in res.
OS OS lang. Regional set. Lang. of running app.
WinNT A B B
Win2000 A B A (!!!)
for example:
A...first lang., B...second lang. in res.
OS OS lang. Regional set. Lang. of running app.
WinNT A B B
Win2000 A B A (!!!)
I don't know what rule you use in your application to identify the lauguage for use.
There are two international feature API for us to get the language identifier of the current user locale [GetUserDefaultLangID()] and the user default-locale identifier [GetUserDefaultLCID].
Use them you can easily know which language to use, at least I did.
Good luck.

I don't use any rule, it chooses the language automatically. Under WinNT it works as I want and I don't need any extra code. How can I ordain explicitly f.e. what language version of the same dialog use?
Oh my god! - I just did a little test and it would seem that the first link I posted ( http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q169/4/83.asp ) is a blantent lie.
On my 2000 system "English US" resources allways seem to get loaded in preference to an exact Primary Lang / Sub lang match.
For example, if I set my regional settings are French France then English US still gets loaded in preference to French France.
However if I use English *UK* resources everything works as expected i.e. a best match is loaded.
Crazy.

That said it was my recollection that NT/2000 behaved in the same way and that it was
Win95/98 that were a bit odd.
Anyway a quick search of MSDN revealed the following which may of help:
