How to Determine Language of Windows Installed 

Keywords:      international language

Question:

I'd like to determine whether an English or French version of Win 95 or NT is running. Any ideas?

I've successfully queried the Win 95 registry for regional settings, but the keys are different under NT, and I'm wondering if there isn't something simpler (e.g. presence of english.dll or french.dll).

Answer: 

	langcode=IniRead("INTL","sLanguage","xxx")
	Message("Language Code",langcode)

Question:

My compiled EXE still searches for a File "WWWDLANG" (without Extensions!) when it launches. Seems to be a bug.

Answer:

We look at these INI settings for the language to use:

First, in WWWBATCH.INI 

 [Main]
 Language
If not found, then, in WIN.INI (or the registry equivalent) 
  [Intl]
  sLanguage
If either are set to blank strings, WWWDLANG will have a blank extension.
