Determine the operating system's default language

The code below uses unit SysUtils to easily determine the Operating System's default language. The TLanguages class also contains other information for each entry - check the online help on this type.


	uses SysUtils, Dialogs; procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject); var i : Integer; begin i := Languages.IndexOf(SysLocale.DefaultLCID); ShowMessage(Languages.Name[i]); end;

I would like to know how to change the language of my operating system and cannot find such info. Please help if you can because when I insurt a disk in a D: drive the names of the songs that I want to listem are written in different symbols that I do not understand. I want the Russian language to be correct. Everything is in English on my PC, but I can switch between the russian and english when need to. But when I insurt russian disks they appear in symbols. And also when I tried to download a program from Microsoft.com I was tald that this programm is not supported by my operating system language. I am a newbie and cannot understand your instructions on finding out my O/P language.

On the View menu of your browser, change character encoding to Unicode 8-bit, or try Cyrillic (Windows 1251), for Russian characters proper rendering.

For the operating system, try switching the code page. Just google the exact phrase code page for country / language of your choice.
