Note this uses the "GetSystemDefaultLangID", which returns the default language of the system, which is the language of the operating system at install time. This won't return the current language. For example, my system is set to UK, yet this returns US as the language. If instead you call the "GetUserDefaultLangID" function you get the actual current language of the logged in user.
