I've been searching msdn forever now without a straight answer.
Is there a way to simply get the user's language? I don't want to load any resources or anything at this point, I just want to get their language. Is there ANY simple way to do this?
I'm using visual C++,and I'm not using MFC or anything like that.
GetUserDefaultLangID
may be what you're after. Then again, you may really be after GetUserPreferredUILanguages
.
