Windows C++ Locale Function

DWORD MAKELCID(WORD wLanguageID, WORD wSortID);

Internationalization (I18n) Function Overview

The MAKELCID macro creates a locale identifier from the language identifier specified by wLanguageID, and the sort identifier specified by wSortID. wLanguageID is formulated by calling the MAKELANGID macro.

See the MSDN Library for more information.

I18n Issues

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