    Hi,

     

    I tried GetLocaleInfo, but it returns Regional Language setting info, not the Installed OS language detail!!

    (Ex: Japanese OS, English OS) within Japanese OS i change the Regional setting to English, but i want the info about the 'OS Language', i.e Japanese.

     

    please let me know if any API provide these details.

     

    Thanks,

    Ashwini

      Function GetUserDefaultUILanguage() returns install language.

        You may want GetSystemDefaultUILanguage. The value returned by GetUserDefaultUILanguage is user-configurable and may be different for different users on the same machine. See also
