GetPlatformLocale does not return a correct LCID. LCID for "en-US" is 1033 but I am getting 54. Looks like it's just returning the first entry of the table. No country table is used, this is also a problem.

Fixed. Checked in 3/5/98.
I verified it's working for en-US, en-GB, fr-FR, de-DE and ja-JP. Can this also support locale to charset name mapping or it's someone else's task? E.g. en_US -> iso-8859-1 I need this for the conversion in order to talk to non unicode API.

** Checked with 4/8/99 evening Win32 build ** Following nhotta's 4/7/99 comment, I'll be marking this fix verified. LocaleSelfTest.exe does include self-test mechanism for several locales mentioned in nhotta's comment. (Try 'LocaleSelfTest -v'.) The values obtained by the selft tests are: en_US = 0x0409 en_GB = 0x0809 fr_FR = 0x040c de_DE = 0x0407 ja_JP = 0x0411 These are all correct Win32 Locale ID hex values. Given these results, it's safe to assume that GetPlatformLocale is returning correct values for given locales.

happy. if you want a more direct verification, you can run nsLocaleTest - of course since i wrote it it might be biased :)
