Help with determining OS Language

[fender4645]

Hi everyone-

I'm evaluating AMS 5 and I'm having some trouble determining the OS language. Basically, I want to determine if the OS language is Japanese and hide a button if it is. My programming skills are very limited to please be gentle :)

I understand that I can use the 'user_language = System.GetDefaultLangID;' function but I'm not sure how exactly I'm supposed to extract the data from the table. Any sample source code would really help out.

Thanks!

Try this out (and then modify it to your needs):

--The decimal number 17 that would be returned on a Japanese 'default' language computer, is the Windows operating system language ID code

language_info = System.GetDefaultLangID();
if language_info.Primary == 17 then
Dialog.Message("Computer's Default Language Check...", "This computer's default language is: Japanese");
else
Dialog.Message("Notice...", "This computer does not have Japanese set as its default language!");
end




-- BELOW IS STRAIGHT FROM AMS 5's 'HELP' SECTION!

--Gets the primary and secondary language ID code and stores them in the table called "language_info."

--These values could be accessed by referencing language_info.Primary and language_info.Secondary.


Credit: Some goes to the AMS 5's (Pro for this example) 'HELP' section.

Thanks, Intrigued -- that helps out a lot. I had the same logic except I was only using '=' instead of '=='. By the way, how did you know wheather or not you should use the 'decimal' number instead of the hex number? Or could I use either?

Thanks!

I felt that decimal would work because of using decimal values in other situations with regards to AMS 5.

The Hex should work as well though I have not tried such.

I am glad that we found a solution that works or helps find the actual solution your project needs!
