Microsoft sublanguage string to locale identifier
- by Jacob
I can't seem to find a way to convert, or find, a local identifier from a sublanguage string. This site shows the mappings:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd318693(v=VS.85).aspx
I want the user to enter a sublanguage string, such as "France (FR)" and to get the local identifier from this, which in this case would be 0x0484. Or the other way around, if a user enters 0x0480 then to return French (FR).
Has anyone encountered this problem before and can point me in the right direction?
Otherwise I'm going to be writing a few mapping statements to hard code it and maintain future releases if anything changes.
BTW, I'm coding in C++ for Windows platform.
Cheers
