I am in the process of developing a application which displays dialogs depending on the OS language. How I can get the OS language using C++ or Windows APIs (Windows 2008/Vista/7)?
There are several functions to do this in Windows, depending on what format you want the information in. Prior to Windows Vista, the language information was encoded into a LCID (Locale Id) which includes language, as well as some information about sorting and formatting.
For Windows Vista and Windows 7, a more flexible system called Locale Names was devised.
GetSystemDefaultLocaleName
Use this if you want to work on Win2k and WinXP.
