Hello, I'm reading user default language using GetUserDefaultUILanguage.
That works fine. But how can user set a default language? Is there a setting
for it on PocketPC? I was trying to set user language programatically
(SetUserDefaultUILanguage), but that didn't work immediatelly - i had to
reset machine and what is strange before reset i had to go to
Settings/System/Regional Settings and change the locale there to whathever.
Does somebody know how to change default user language properly?

thank you for a help,

brano

If you use the settings UI to change locale settings and tap "OK", the
Pocket PC tells you to reboot before the changes will take effect. I don't
know any way to avoid it, programmatically or other.

Windows CE goes to some effort in order to force the system default language
setting and user default language setting to be identical. If you call
either set of APIs they will report the same answers. Depending on what
language(s) are actually available in firmware and actually executing during
this Windows CE session, none or some or all of these answers will be
accurate.
