Windows C++ Locale Function

WORD MAKELANGID(USHORT usPrimaryLanguage, USHORT usSubLanguage);

Internationalization (I18n) Function Overview

The MAKELANGID macro creates a language identifier from the primary language identifier specified by usPrimaryLanguage, and the sublanguage identifier specified by usSubLanguage.

See the MSDN Library for more information.

I18n Issues

In an internationalized application, the desired language may be different from the system's language. Create the application's language identifier using MAKELANGID, and then pass the resulting identifier into all Win32 language-dependent calls.

Recommended Replacements*

There are no variations of this macro call.

*If you're already using the recommended function, see I18n Issues for other reasons why Globalyzer is detecting the function.
