Need to have a tool to identify different languages in Windows 2003

Hi,

Since Windows 2003 comes with different languages, I need to have a tool to find these different languages.

Note : The "lsass.exe" doesn't help to find all the languages.

Thanks in Advance,
Saravanan.

Hi,

Honestly, your question is not clear for me, but you can find a list of supported languages at

You'll find the languages listed under:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Rfc1766]
and
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\MIME\Database\Rfc1766]

Re: Need to have a tool to identify different languages in Windows 2003

Hi,

Thanks for your reply, let me be more clear about my query, Actually we know that we have more than 10 different languauges in Windows 2003 Server. But if you are working in Simplified Chinese language, how do you confirm that you are using Simplified Chinese or Traditional Chinese language???. So to exactly identify the language we are searching for some tools or Scripts so that when running this tool it should tell us what Operating System Language are we using.

TIA,

You can check it with MUIsetup.exe and Control panel -> Regional settings
And with API:

Re: Need to have a tool to identify different languages in Windows 2003

i think Triple S is asking about determining the language of a localized version of windows. i.e. how do you tell, from a script, Server 03 Chinese apart from Server 03 Swahili.

consider:
http://windowssdk.msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/Intl/mui_Preferences_and_Fallbacks.asp
where the paragraph marked "downlevel systems" discusses ways to gather the system and user language from a non-MUI system.
