Stefan,

For the default user language:

Switch sys(6)
     Case 'W','N'
         Register DLL ('kernel32.dll','GetUserDefaultUILanguage','I') 
Returns ErrCode
         If not(ErrCode)
             Call DLL ('kernel32.dll','GetUserDefaultUILanguage') 
Returns lnLanguage
             Register DLL 
('kernel32.dll','GetUserDefaultUILanguage','I',kTrue) Returns ErrCode

             Register DLL 
('kernel32.dll','GetUserPreferredUILanguages','AJNCN') Returns ErrCode
             If not(ErrCode)
                 Calculate lnSize as 100
                 Call DLL 
('kernel32.dll','GetUserPreferredUILanguages',MUI_LANGUAGE_NAME,lnLanguage,lcResultlanguage,lnSize) 
Returns ErrCode
                 Register DLL 
('kernel32.dll','GetUserPreferredUILanguages','AJNCN',kTrue) Returns ErrCode
             End If
         End If
     Case 'M','X'
End Switch
Quit method lcResultlanguage     ;; en-GB
