Regular readers may remember my Four cases where I don't like ResolveLocaleName (and you shouldn't either!) from a few months ago.
I described a terrible sitation with ResolveLocaleName.
Ths function, added in Windows 7, would do all of the following:
| In | Out |
| en-Latn-AU | en-US |
| zh-Hant-TW | zh-HK |
| en-Cyrl-TT | en-US |
| en-CanYouBelieve-THISCRAP | en-US |
and I pointed out how this function works. It works badly.
Well, one person took this to heart, my friend Brendan.
He entered a bug on this for Windows 8 (I was actually just looking at the Win7 repro but it was I guess in Win8 too!).
Anyhow, despite how late it was they did do a quick fix!
So, once you have RTM bits, the results are much more reasonable:
| In | Out |
| en-Latn-AU | en-AU |
| zh-Hant-TW | zh-TW |
| en-Cyrl-TT | en-TT |
| en-CanYouBelieve-THISCRAP | en-US |
Wow -- much bettter!
Now, we just need to port it to Wndows 7... ::-)<%
