get system language

Question

_{Wednesday, August 31, 2011 1:11 PM}

Is there a way to get the system language.

for example

when ur system language is set to english it selects the case english then sets all the form strings into english, when the case is dutch it sets all the form strings to dutch.

I'm prepared to translate the strings myself but the real question is what funcion I need to use on how to get the language.

thanks

The system language is a part of the culture,

The first two characters as result is the language

    Dim theUsecCulture = System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture

Success
