Hi,

I am newbie to mfc, and I got struck over how to get the current operating system language (Ex: If it is English operating system I must get it as English and locale can be different. For English OS locale can be Japanese).

Current locale I am getting it through `GetSystemDefaultLangID` and the only thing I left with is I need to get the current operating language.

Can anyone kindly help me to resolve this issue.

Thanks in advance.

Just an idea: the concept of "locale" is pretty much obsolete. There is such thing as "culture", which can be totally custom.
