The user-defined language identifier of the operating system can be set by using
the Regional Settings option in Control Panel. Some applications may
need to determine which language ID the operating system is currently
using. This article describes how to use the GetUserDefaultLCID API from Visual FoxPro (VFP) to
determine this information.
