Hi

an interresting registry entry would be :

/proc/registry/HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Control Panel/International/LocaleName

in france, under vista, it's fr-FR which is easy to translate to
fr_FR.UTF-8...

how about to integrate something like this in lang.sh :

[ -n "${LC_ALL:-${LC_CTYPE:-$LANG}}" ] && return

read LocaleName < '/proc/registry/HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Control
Panel/International/LocaleName'

case ${LocaleName} in
*-*)
        export LANG=${LocaleName%-*}_${LocaleName#*-}.UTF-8
*)
        export LANG=C.UTF-8
        ;;
esac

unset LocalName

Regards,

Cyrille Lefevre
