        对于支持多语言版本的软件，是要运行在客户的Windows操作系统上的，是需要知道客户Windows操作系统的语言版本，比如简体中文操作系统、英文操作系统等。比如我们在制作支持多语言的安装包时，需要根据当前系统的语言，将启动安装时默认的语言设置为系统的语言，即如果当前使用的是简体中文操作系统，则默认使用中文简体，如果是英文操作系统，则要默认使用英文。本文就来讲述一下如何去获取Windows操作系统的语言版本。

1、系统提供的多个获取语言版本的API函数

   Windows系统提供了获取多个获取语言多个API函数：GetSystemDefaultLangID、GetUserDefaultLangID、GetSystemDefaultUILanguage和GetUserDefaultUILanguage。这几个API函数很是类似和，到底该用哪一个呢？我们可以查看MSDN上这几个函数的说明，这几个还是有很大区别的，最终还是要使用GetUserDefaultUILanguage函数的。

2、各个函数在MSDN上的说明

       GetSystemDefaultLangID在MSDN上的说明：

Returns the language identifier for the system locale. This is the language used when displaying text in programs that do not support Unicode. It is set by the Administrator under Control Panel > Clock, Language, and Region> Administrative tab.  

由上述说明可知，GetSystemDefaultLangID函数获取的语言是控制面板 -> 区域与语言选项 -> 管理标签页中设置的支持的非Unicode语言，即如下图所示：

       GetUserDefaultLangID在MSDN上的说明：

Returns the language identifier for the current user as set under Control Panel > Clock, Language, and Region > Formats tab > Format dropdown.

由上述文字可知，GetUserDefaultLangID函数获取的语言是控制面板 -> 区域与语言选项 -> 格式标签页中设置的标准与格式语言，即如下图所示：

       GetSystemDefaultUILanguage在MSDN上的说明：

Retrieves the language identifier for the system default UI language of the operating system, also known as the "install language" on Windows Vista and later. For more information, see User Interface Language Management.

        GetUserDefaultUILanguage在MSDN上的说明：

Returns the language identifier for the user UI language for the current user. If the current user has not set a language, GetUserDefaultUILanguage returns the preferred language set for the system. If there is no preferred language set for the system, then the system default UI language (also known as "install language") is returned. For more information about the user UI language, see User Interface Language Management.

       综上所述，GetSystemDefaultLangID和GetUserDefaultLangID两函数获取的语言，受区域语言设置中设置的语言影响，所以这两个函数都不是我们想要的。我们需要获取的是Windows操作系统本身的语言版本。而GetSystemDefaultUILanguage的应用场景比较单一，使用GetUserDefaultUILanguage应该是最合适的。所以最终使用的是GetUserDefaultUILanguage函数。      

3、获取操作系统语言的示例代码 

       获取Windows操作系统语言版本的示例代码如下：

DWORD dwLangID = GetUserDefaultUILanguage(); 
if ( dwLangID == 0x0804 )
{
	// 简体中文
}
else if ( dwLangID == 0x0411 )
{
	// 日语
}
else 
{
	// 英语
}

在大家实际使用时，只要找到软件要支持的多语言中各个语种的id，添加相应的处理即可。  

4、多国语言的语言id列表

      可以到VC6对应的2001版本的msdn中，搜索GetSystemDefaultLangID函数（只有该函数的页面中有“Language Identifiers”的超链接），通过页面中的链接找到“Language Identifiers”点进去，在弹出的页面中，找到“Table of Language Identifiers”即可：

下面给出各个语种的语言列表：（下面将常见国家的语种标注出来了，比如简体中文、韩文、日文等）
