Remarks

Initialize this class with a BCP-47 language tag. For example, to work with the best current user-preferred language, pass in the top value from Windows.System.UserProfile.GlobalizationPreferences.

Language tags support the Unicode extensions "ca-" and "nu-". (See Unicode Key/Type Definitions.) Note that these extensions can affect the calendar used by Calendar objects.

Note

If your app passes language tags from this class to any National Language Support functions, it must first convert the tags by calling ResolveLocaleName.
