In Delphi there is an option VersionInfo->Language->Locale ID when viewing project properties.
I was wandering how to set such property for a program being compiled under Free Pascal.
Any solution is welcome: command line argument or preprocessor directive such as {$key value}; equivalent to Delphi.

    If you can build your projects using *.lpi files then I would try to add the following into your project’s Project.lpi file. In the following snippet is shown how to set the project’s locale ID (for Windows platform) to 0405 (Czech).

    <?xml version="1.0"?>
<CONFIG>
  <ProjectOptions>
    ...
    <VersionInfo>
      <UseVersionInfo Value="True"/>
      <Language Value="0405"/>
      <StringTable ProductVersion=""/>
    </VersionInfo>
    ...
  </ProjectOptions>
  ...
</CONFIG>

    Or if you are using Lazarus IDE then you might use to Delphi very similar settings tab which you can open from Project / Project Options ... and as in Delphi go to Version Info where is the Language selection combo box available if you include the version info into the project.
