They can be combined with secondary language identifiers to form language identifiers. The following are secondary language identifiers. They can be combined with primary language identifiers to form language identifiers. So why would a program create a directory named after a language code? Many Microsoft products support a multilingual user interface. This means that the same program can be used to display its user interface in multiple languages. Office and Windows are the two biggest examples. Language-specific resources need to be broken out into their own directories so they won’t conflict with resources corresponding to some other language. Locale ID: A 32-bit value defined by Microsoft Windows that consists of a language ID, sort ID, and reserved bits that identify a particular language. Primary language: The primary language is the language that is installed on the system as the default language used to display and print information. The IBM® licensed program distribution media contains the primary language files. The distribution media you create at the central system copies the primary language files so you can install them at your target systems. Secondary language: The distribution of secondary language files is more complicated than that of primary language files. Secondary language files are saved to the distribution media as described in Checklist: Create central site distribution media and are restored at the target systems using the user-defined installation program as described in Installation tasks for the target systems.Language - Country/Region LCID Hex LCID Dec Primary Language Identifiers
