Hello,
I'm trying to write a localized program like official add-ins, but I don't know how to detect the system's locale settings. Is there any syscall that can give me such kind of information?
Thanks.
Whilst there's no known syscall to do this, the first localised message in each language is the name of the language. Thus, you could do the following to detect if the language is English:
Code: char language[256];
LocalizeMessage1(1, language);
if (strcmp(language, "English") == 0) {
// It's English!
}
The same can be done for any other language. Note that this returns a multi-byte string, so the following could be done to detect Chinese:
Code: char language[256];
LocalizeMessage1(1, language);
if (strcmp(language, "\xd6\xd0\xce\xc4") == 0) {
// It's Chinese!
}

Thanks! It worked.
