Simple question on CUlture

Dear all,

I ma building a new applciation under Vista. how compny MSUT deliver this
application to our customer in there own language, the tricky thing all the
time.
For that I was planning to get a table name Language as follow :

Name Id Culture
==== == ==============
en-US 0x0409 English (United States)
en-GB 0x0809 English (United Kingdom)
en 0x0009 English
fr 0x000C French
fi-FI 0x040B Finnish (Finland)
fr-FR 0x040C French (France)

Base on that table I read the current culture of system regional settings
and then colect proper text based on this table if culture has been define
for the selection.

From this, do I have to make difference between neutral culture and not
neutral like:
en-Us and en , both are english text in a way

Thanks for comments
regards

Hello Serge. If I understand your scenario correctly, I think it might be
easier to do the following (using command line app for the example):

namespace culturename
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{

System.Globalization.CultureInfo ci =
System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentUICulture;
System.Console.WriteLine(ci.DisplayName); // native culture name
System.Console.WriteLine(ci.EnglishName); // English culture
name
System.Console.ReadLine();
}
}
}

If you plan to load UI resources based on the system UI language, you'll
want to use CurrentUICulture rather than CurrentCulture/user locale.
