If an application needs to get the default language or system language or user's language, etc, then it should use APIs like:
GetSystemDefaultLCID
GetUSerDefaultLCID
GetLocaleInfo
GetUserLocaleInfo

I don't think anyone would mind if you made a new thread. The existing thread is almost 3 years old, and people get annoyed when really old threads are bumped. 
I do mind very much, if I may say so...
IMHO, it is far better to have 1 thread (no matter what age) about a certain subject. Than having 2 or more. As you probably know I search the forums a lot all the time, and time and again I need to make sure there are no other relevant threads about a certain subject because of duplicated and repeated threads. I'm sure I'm not the only one.
People shouldn't stare blind on the thread creation date as that says absolutely nothing at all. If a thread is updated with _relevant_ info or a _relevant_ question I don't see any reason why that should not be allowed. On the contrary, making a new thread shouldn't be allowed imho.
As a matter of fact, I needed to read the old thread anyways to see if things were already said so I don't repeat stuff. So what is the use of a repeated/duplicated thread anyways?
Also, when refering to threads, it is far more easier for helpers to link to 1 thread instead of linking to x threads and stating read first this one, then this one, read a bit of this, then this one, etc... (Which does need to be done and is done already in many many posts).
This shouldn't be about people being annoyed, this should be about keeping information together instead of spreading it all over the place so no-one can find the 'complete picture' anymore without extensive searching and reading... If people are annoyed by a thread which is updated/bumped with relevant info, it is their problem and they should learn how to keep info together/provide proper info...
In short: it is far worse to make duplicated threads than updating an existing thread...
all imho of course...
